Battery Cluster Portugal took part in the Future Battery Forum 2025, held in Berlin, reinforcing the national commitment to innovation, collaboration, and technological development within the battery sector. As one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to energy storage, the forum gathered industry leaders, international experts, policymakers, and research organisations to discuss the future of the battery value chain.
During the event, the Cluster was integrated into the booth of the NGS – New Generation Storage project, where it presented the NGS+ platform, a tool designed to enhance cooperation among companies, R&D centres, and other stakeholders, accelerating knowledge creation and strengthening the competitiveness of the sector in Portugal.
In addition to the Battery Cluster, the Portuguese ecosystem was well represented by several national entities that also travelled to Berlin. Among them were CeNTI, the University of Minho, Data CoLAB, and b.again, some of which are members of the Cluster. Their presence further amplified the international visibility of the work being carried out in Portugal across the battery value chain.
Participation in the Future Battery Forum 2025 provided an opportunity to:
- Promote the technologies and expertise developed in Portugal;
- Establish strategic contacts with international partners;
- Monitor emerging trends within the European battery industry;
- Explore new opportunities for collaboration and joint development;
- Highlight the role of the NGS project and its partners in empowering the national ecosystem.
Throughout the event, the Battery Cluster team engaged in meetings and networking moments that reinforced Portugal’s relevance within the European energy storage landscape. The presentation of the NGS+ platform attracted strong interest from participants, standing out as a clear example of how collaborative initiatives can accelerate innovation and support the energy transition.
Participation in the Future Battery Forum 2025 reaffirms Battery Cluster Portugal’s commitment to supporting the sector’s growth, fostering collaboration among entities, and contributing to a more sustainable, integrated, and competitive battery value chain.
