Participation as both exhibitor and speaker at Battery Innovation Days 2025 highlighted the active role of Battery Cluster Portugal in building a more resilient and sustainable European battery value chain.

Battery Cluster Portugal took part in Battery Innovation Days 2025, strengthening its role within the European battery and energy storage landscape. The event brought together industry representativies, research centres, policymakers and European organisations, providing a privileged space for debate, knowledge sharing and strategic cooperation.

As in other international initiatives, the Cluster was present with a booth of the NGS – New Generation Storage project, where it promoted the NGS+ platform, a tool designed to stimulate collaboration, technological development and the strengthening of the battery value chain.

The participation also included other Portuguese entities, namely LuxOEnergy and FEUP – Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, which accompanied the Battery Cluster at the event, further reinforcing the national repreentation at Battery Innovation Days 2025.

One of the highlights of the event was the participation of Diogo Fula, Business Developer at BAT, as a speaker in the session “From Ground to Grid: Building a Resilient and Sustainable Battery Supply Chain”. This intervention provided an overview of the national battery sector and highlighted Portugal’s contribution to the development of a more resilient and sustainable European battery value chain.

During the event, the Battery Cluster team also had the opportunity to meet with colleagues from BEPA – Batteries European Partnership Association, with whom it has been actively collaborating within the respective working groups. In addition, Battery Innovation Days 2025 enabled the creation of new contacts with a wide range of stakeholders from across the battery sector, opening the door to future opportunities for cooperation and joint development.
