Is there a road map for developing a successful battery industry and what lessons can we learn from the last 20 years that policy makers can learn from? What are the lessons for other local economies looking to nurture their domestic battery supply chains?

In this episode I'm delighted to be joined by Christopher Chico, Editor of The Battery Chronicle to discuss the key issues in developing a competitive battery sector.

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

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.

Materials discovery has been the propellant of many of the big leaps forward in the battery space. So the field of material engineering and how material design can be accelerated is right at the centre of solving many of the problems that battery material designers are wrestling with.

To explore the advances being made in this field, I'm delighted to be joined by Jason Sebastian, Executive VP of QuesTek Innovations, the Chicago based materials software and consultancy business; to discuss the work they are doing to reveal the next generation of materials candidates for use in the battery technology space.

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

The event provides a strategically important battery and energy storage networking opportunity for Southern Europe, and comprise of a 2-day trade show and conference providing high level sector insights from industry leaders across the full supply chains of research, materials, services and manufacturing across 4 major themes:

EV/Mobility

Battery Energy Storage Systems and Grid Infrastructure

EV Charging Infrastructure

Battery Recycling and Circularity

We are allowing selected strategic businesses to register an expression of interest. This allows them to indicate their choice of exhibition space with no commercial commitment. This simply allows us to provide them with an option on a specific plot.

When things go wrong in battery manufacturing, it's often about production yield, quality performance and manufacturing control. The rapid detection of defects is pivotal to achieving high quality performance. And this matters not only in manufacturing bit also in future product safety and reliability in use.

To explore the advances being made in this field, I'm delighted to be joined by Dr Peter Attia, Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer of Glimpse, the Boston based technology business to discuss the work they are doing to reveal the presence of latent battery defects during manufacturing
