Following a successful debut in 2023, the cooperation between ees Europe, the continent’s largest and most international exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems, and InterBattery, South Korea’s leading battery exhibition, will continue in 2024.

Last year, this additional exhibition space presented 72 companies, 62 of which were South Korean. With the InterBattery Europe Showcase, which primarily focuses on innovations in the upstream segment, ees Europe offers visitors the entire range of the energy storage industry. The exhibition also provides dedicated networking opportunities where visitors can generate valuable business contacts.
On the first and the second exhibition day, the Battery Day Europe conference will perfectly complement the InterBattery Europe Showcase. This year, the conference will provide comprehensive insights into the world of EV batteries, covering everything from the latest legislation, how to secure battery materials as well as groundbreaking technologies and business trends. Special attention will be given to the German-Korean cooperation in the ReLioS network for innovative approaches to battery recycling. The conference will also shine a light on EV battery production technologies.
This wide range of options is made possible by the cooperation between the organizers of The smarter E Europe (Solar Promotion GmbH and Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH & Co. KG) and the Korea Battery Industry Association (KBIA), South Korea’s largest exhibition and convention organizer Coex, and the state-run Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA). “The presence at ees Europe in Munich is important to us. This collaboration between Europe’s leading battery exhibition and the largest battery exhibition in Korea allows our clients, key players of the Asian battery upstream market, to experience the German and European markets firsthand," says Dong Ki Lee, President & CEO at Coex. “We hope that this collaboration will widely promote the global competitiveness of K-Batteries and create a significant opportunity to strengthen international cooperation," says Tae Sung Park, Vice Chairman of KBIA. Markus Elsässer, Founder and CEO of Solar Promotion GmbH, adds: “We are delighted to continue our cooperation. 2023 proved how much value South Korean battery industry suppliers and trade visitors can add to the market. The next event will provide them with another opportunity to network and make valuable business contacts.”
