Excitement is building as the fifth edition of the Battery Innovation Days (BID) is officially scheduled for December 2–3, 2025, in Graz, Austria, with a parallel online format for global participation. This highly anticipated event is a cornerstone of Europe’s efforts to lead the charge in next-generation battery research, development, and sustainability.
Organised by BATTERY 2030+ and the Batteries European Partnership Association (BEPA), in close cooperation with the 1st and 2nd Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEIs) on batteries, this year’s BID promises an even more dynamic platform for discovery, collaboration, and innovation. By gathering top-tier scientists, industrial pioneers, policymakers, and emerging talent, BID 2025 will highlight the transformative potential of battery technologies across the continent.
The two-day event will feature a packed agenda with insightful presentations, expert panel discussions, and interactive networking sessions. Topics will range from advanced materials and novel cell architectures to innovative manufacturing techniques and efficient recycling solutions. Above all, there will be a strong emphasis on sustainability, environmental responsibility, and the industrial scalability of battery innovations.
What sets Battery Innovation Days apart is its mission to connect every link in the battery value chain—from fundamental research to industrial deployment—ensuring a united approach to meeting Europe’s energy and climate goals. As battery technology plays an increasingly vital role in clean mobility, renewable energy storage, and green industrial processes, BID serves as a critical hub for turning ambitious ideas into real-world impact.
One of the highlights of the event will be the Battery Young Research Award ceremony, celebrating the achievements of outstanding early-career researchers who are driving progress in the battery sector. This initiative not only honours academic excellence but also inspires the next generation of innovators to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
In addition, attendees will enjoy access to a vibrant exhibition space where leading projects, start-ups, and research institutions will showcase their breakthroughs and future plans. This interactive setting offers participants the chance to build meaningful connections, exchange knowledge, and explore collaborative opportunities that extend beyond the event itself.
Whether you’re a seasoned researcher, an industry professional, a policymaker, or a student eager to enter the field, Battery Innovation Days 2025 offers a unique opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in one of the world’s most fast-evolving sectors.
As Europe moves forward with its vision for a green and digitally empowered future, events like BID continue to provide the momentum needed to achieve these ambitions. With a spirit of unity, innovation, and purpose, BID 2025 is poised to empower a new era of battery excellence—driving change not only in Europe but globally.
