5. The presence of leading OEMs and cell manufacturers increases strategic relevance
The consistent presence of Volkswagen and PowerCo, as well as the participation of the BMW Group (2025), proves that:
- The Advanced Battery Power Conference is perceived by OEMs as a relevant technical forum,
- Discussions take place beyond marketing and sales,
- Exhibitors position themselves in a direct industrial context.
Testimonial from an OEM representative:
“I joined some interesting talks and had deep discussions at the posters”
