The ees Innovation Hub networks the energy storage industry under the motto: Research meets Industry
Projects and products relating to energy storage will be presented in an attractive environment together with research institutes, start-ups and international companies. In addition, the ees Innovation Hub Stage offers a varied program on all three days of the exhibition on innovations from areas such as battery technologies, AI in battery research, recycling, energy storage systems, a self-sufficient energy system presented as part of the ees Island Challenge, as well as industry pitches.
At the ees Island Challenge, two interdisciplinary teams from RWTH Aachen University and the Helmholtz Institute Berlin will compete against each other. Their task is to design a self-sufficient energy system to supply the space habitat FLEXhab at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) site in Cologne.
FLEXHab is a space-camping container and can accommodate up to four astronauts who live and work there during a simulated lunar mission. It is intended to function as a containerized energy “island”: operating independently from the grid, while at the same time being safely and interoperably connected to the local power grid.
Visitors and exhibitors can follow the progress of both teams in Hall B0 at Booth B0.160 and attend the subsequent presentation of the results on the Innovation Hub Stage in Hall B0.

Guided Tour 1: Smart Storage Design
Every exhibition day from 10:00–11:00am, starting at the PEM RWTH Aachen University booth (Hall B0, Booth B0.210).
From simulation software for energy storage systems to platforms for virtual power plants: storage systems are getting smarter. One hour is all it takes for a special in-depth look. RWTH Aachen University will guide you to selected exhibitors at the ees Innovation Hub.
Guided Tour 2: Next-Gen Storage
On the first and second exhibition day from 2:00–3:00pm, starting at the PEM RWTH Aachen University booth (Hall B0, Booth B0.210).
From flywheels to hydrogen-iron flow batteries: there’s more than just lithium-ion technology. RWTH Aachen University will guide you to selected exhibitors at the ees Innovation Hub.
Please note that the tour is conducted using an app. You will therefore need a smartphone with internet access on which you can install the app, as well as headphones.
Just arrived at the exhibition and looking for a place for your first interview? You'll find everything you need at the ees Innovation Hub.
