The Battery Show Europe Returns to Stuttgart as the Epicenter of Europe's Battery and E-Mobility Innovation

Manufacturing by Informa’s leading European event brings together the global battery ecosystem to address critical industry challenges and drive future success

STUTTGART, Germany, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Battery Show Europe and Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo Europe, (June 9–11, Messe Stuttgart), concluded with a continued focus on bringing together renowned companies and innovative leaders, offering access to cutting-edge solutions, thought leadership and networking opportunities designed for professionals across the sector.

Countries in the European Economic Area and Switzerland have committed almost 200B Euros ​to their EV sector. At the same time, many countries in the region have removed or have yet to enact tax benefits for EV owners, leading to a crossroads for the industry.

Thought-Provoking Keynotes

The 2026 edition saw nine keynotes over three days from speakers including Cedric Duclos, CEO, Saft, exploring how technologies provide the backbone for modern transport and communications, energy transition, emergency response, and national security; Jennifer Karle, Policy Officer, European Commission - DG Grow, on preparing for the launch of the Battery Passport in 2027; and Sebastian Wolf unveiling WLF Energy, a global energy technology company focused on building a fully integrated energy ecosystem combining advanced battery technologies, AI, energy management systems, digital energy platforms, and project development capabilities.

World-Class Conference Program

Over three conference tracks, attendees experienced sessions featuring technical discussions with commercial and regulatory realities, providing attendees with actionable insights to compete globally. Co-located with the Energy Storage Summit Conference, programming allowed for deeper insights into stationary storage markets, applications, and technology trends alongside the battery program.

“The Battery Show Europe arrives at a pivotal moment for our industry,” says Suzanne Deffree, VP, Portfolio Lead, Manufacturing by Informa. “As Europe accelerates its transition to electrification and sustainable energy storage, our event provides the essential platform where innovation meets execution. We're bringing together the brightest minds and most influential decision-makers to tackle the real-world challenges of scaling battery production, advancing next-generation technologies, and ensuring Europe remains competitive in the global battery landscape. This year's show will be instrumental in transforming industry ambition into tangible results.”

Unparalleled Networking and Business Opportunities

New curated networking environments transformed the expo hall into a dynamic community hub where attendees can connect strategically, recharge, and discover tailored solutions.

Halftime Hub

A soccer-themed zone designed to spark natural opportunities for relationship building across the battery and EV supply chain. Morning coffee sessions, midday refreshments with interactive activities, and evening receptions created structured opportunities for relationship building throughout each day.

'Area of Interest' Cafés

New, focused, meeting spaces where attendees were able to discover exhibitors in five key categories: Energy and Power Systems, Components and Subsystems, Manufacturing and Production, Engineering, and Software and R&D.
