BATTERY CELL PRODUCTION IN EUROPE – PANEL DISCUSSION
Summary
Currently Asian companies play
a dominant role in lithium-ion
cell mass production; therefore
most of the cells are delivered
to Europe from China, Korea
and Japan. Political decisions
like the German energy
transition and a trend towards
electromobility lead to the
question of large-scale cell
production capacities also in
Europe. Who will invest in such
facilities, who will possess and
operate these facilities and do
European companies have a
chance to be competitive on
the market? Such questions
will be discussed within this
podium discussion by high-
level representatives of the
battery industry.
