Panel
Our expert panel will discuss whether Europe ever will be able to catch up with the battery leading regions of the world. There have been significant investments in the battery value chain in Europe the last few years, but trying to catch up with China is difficult and many industrial newcomers have struggled. Our panelists gather to discuss what the potential and challenges are in the new global dynamics, and whether Europe will be able to catch up!
