"Battery technology" innovation mission to Germany
Battery developments, both in technology and production, are moving fast in Europe. Germany plays a crucial role in this, both in R&D and in scaling up va battery production. This innovation mission focuses on the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg. In these regions, many parties are active in this sector, both in research and in the application of that research.
Target
This innovation mission focuses on new battery technologies and aims to bring together players from the German and Dutch ecosystem on
- battery sustainability, including material efficiency and recycling,
- Digitization of battery production process,
- innovative testing and certification methods,
- development and production of next-generation battery cells, and
- Battery Management Systems.
These can be both stationary and mobile applications.
Who can participate?
The mission is particularly aimed at R&D managers, business development managers, CTOs and CEOs of interested companies (SMEs and large companies) and knowledge institutions, in short, people involved in the R&D process and innovation. This mission is of interest to:
- Dutch companies (SMEs, start-ups/scale-ups and corporates) active in battery technology;
- Knowledge institutions working on - or involved in - the development and application of new battery technologies.
Draft program
Various companies and knowledge institutions will be visited during the three-day mission. The program begins in Baden-Württemberg and ends in North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition to visits to companies and knowledge institutions, the program also includes a number of matchmaking moments with German parties.
The program includes visits to the ZSW-BW and Helmholtz Institute in Ulm, parties in Karlsruhe and RWTH Aachen. The program is under development. For more information on the program: Dutch innovation mission battery technology to Germany - Programme (b2match.io)
