Building on the success of their debut partnership in 2023, ees Europe, the largest and most internationally recognized exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems in Europe, will once again join forces with InterBattery, South Korea’s premier battery exhibition, for their 2024 event. Visitors can anticipate the return of the InterBattery Europe Showcase exhibition area, expected to feature approximately 200 companies, including industry giants such as Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solution, and SK On. Last year’s showcase boasted 72 companies, with 62 hailing from South Korea. With a primary focus on innovations in the upstream segment, the InterBattery Europe Showcase, integrated within ees Europe, ensures visitors access to the full spectrum of the energy storage industry, along with dedicated networking opportunities to foster valuable business connections.
