A warm welcome to the 2027 Battery Conference
The latest insights into battery technology in a concise event
The 19th international ‘Advanced Battery Power’ conference will take place from 7 to 9 April 2027. Once again, it will bring together specialists from the fields of science, research and development across the entire value chain of batteries and battery technology. Experts from all over the world will gather at the Eurogress in Aachen to exchange the latest research findings and first-hand information.
For three days, the focus will be on the latest research findings, technological innovations and practical applications. From new cell chemistries and advances in production to issues of scaling, sustainability and recycling: the range of topics reflected the dynamism of an industry that plays a key role in the energy transition and the mobility of the future.
International keynote speeches will provide global perspectives and shed light on developments in leading markets. They will not only offer technological insights but also provide impetus for strategic decisions and collaborations.
In addition to the technical agenda, the 2027 Battery Conference offers, above all, a forum for exchange. Discussions between start-ups, established companies, research institutions and political stakeholders give rise to new contacts, ideas and partnerships – often just as valuable as the content presented on stage.
The event is supported by a strong network of organisers and partners, including the Ministry for Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIKE), as well as CARL & ISEA (RWTH Aachen University), the MEET Battery Research Centre (University of Münster) and the Helmholtz Institute.

- Batterietagung Münster: Exchange is what drives progress. As a partner of this year’s Advanced Battery Power Conference in Münster, we were proud to support a platform where industry and academia come together to shape the future of battery technology. The conversations with universities such as Münster and Aachen, alongside many inspiring exchanges across the battery community, once again showed that collaboration is essential to accelerate innovation. For us at PowerCo, the conference was also a strong signal: benchmarking confirmed that many challenges in scaling battery cell production are shared across the industry and progress happens faster when knowledge is exchanged openly. At the same time, the strong interest in our ramp-up and future battery cell applications highlights the growing momentum around PowerCo. “Three years ago, I attended as a PhD student - this year, I returned as a representative of PowerCo. Experiencing both perspectives has been incredibly valuable.” – Frederike Monsees, Mechanical Design Expert Battery Cell at PowerCo. Thank you to everyone who shared ideas, perspectives and optimism. Together, we move the industry forward. (PowerCo)
