The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Battery Tech Europe | FIRA de Barcelona | September 2026

 

The battery technology sector in Southern Europe is growing rapidly, in energy storage technology, mobility and emerging applications.

 

Spain is the 2nd largest automotive manufacturing economy in Europe and has recently announced a huge investment to accelerate the development of the supply chain in Battery Energy Storage Systems. It’s a very exciting time for growth in the battery related supply chain in the Southern European region.

 

With few major battery technology events in the region, the event will provide a large and additive audience to the current events for the European EV and BESS supply chain. It will be a major addition to the roster of battery industry events.
