Ideas, evidence and engineering insight

The Battery Tech Expo Sweden seminar programme brings together industry specialists, engineers, researchers and technology leaders to explore the developments shaping battery technology and electrification across the Nordic region and wider European market.

With a strong emphasis on practical engineering, industrial applications and commercial deployment, the programme examines the challenges and opportunities facing battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs, technology suppliers and the wider supply chain. From advanced materials and battery system development to manufacturing efficiency, testing, regulation and sustainability, sessions connect technical innovation with the demands of a rapidly evolving industry.

Areas of discussion

The Battery Tech Expo Sweden seminar programme reflects the breadth of expertise within Sweden's battery and electrification ecosystem, with particular emphasis on automotive and heavy-duty transport applications, battery manufacturing, supply chain development and energy storage.

Key areas of focus include:

  • Battery materials and cell technology – Developments in electrode materials, cathode and anode technologies, cell chemistry and innovations aimed at improving performance, cost efficiency, sustainability and supply chain resilience.

  • Battery engineering and system integration – Design, development and optimisation of battery cells, modules and packs for passenger vehicles, commercial transport, marine and industrial applications, including performance, reliability and system integration.

  • Manufacturing and industrial scale-up – The engineering, production and commercial challenges involved in scaling battery manufacturing, improving process efficiency, controlling costs and transitioning technologies towards industrial deployment.

  • Testing, validation and safety – Advanced testing methodologies, simulation, performance verification, quality assurance and safety considerations for battery systems, power electronics and electric vehicle technologies.

  • Supply chains, logistics and regulation – Battery materials sourcing, European supply chain resilience, transport and logistics requirements, regulatory compliance and the implications of evolving European battery legislation.

  • Energy storage and infrastructure – Battery energy storage systems, renewable energy integration, charging infrastructure and the growing role of storage technologies in supporting energy security and electrification.

  • Sustainability and lifecycle management – Reducing the environmental impact of battery production, improving material efficiency, supporting circular economy principles and addressing sustainability throughout the battery value chain.

Highlights from the 2025 Programme

The Battery Tech Expo Sweden 2025 seminar programme brought together leading industry specialists to explore developments in battery materials, manufacturing, engineering, testing and supply chain resilience.

Ali Islam, Volvo Group, presented “What’s inside a battery: Unpacking the cost of Li-Ion cells”, examining the factors influencing battery cell costs, while Sophie Dik, CarbonX, explored advances in sustainable anode materials in “CarbonX Anode Active Material: bridging Performance, Sustainability, and Supply Chain Resilience for EV batteries”.

Manufacturing and quality assurance featured prominently, with Emil Espes, Excillum, discussing “How high-speed inline CT can increase yield and ensure quality in battery production”, and Richard Lockwood, UK Battery Industrialisation Centre, addressing “Overcoming the challenges of scaleup of battery manufacturing”.

The programme also examined wider industry challenges, including Cynthia De Pauw, EUTRACO, presenting “Battery Logistics Unplugged, bridging challenges, regulations and reality”, and Bezawit Tsegai and Theodor Ingman, Sweco, sharing perspectives on energy storage markets and investment in “Empowering the Future: Battery Storage and Hydrogen Market Insights”.

Together, these presentations demonstrated the breadth of technical and commercial expertise represented at Battery Tech Expo Sweden, connecting advances in battery technology with the practical challenges of industrial development, electrification and deployment.
