Giga Europe 2025

Join us at Giga Europe 2025 to engage with key decision-makers and contribute to shaping the future of Europe’s energy transition!

Giga Europe attracts key decision makers and active participants in the energy transition supply chain, from global policy makers, financial institutions, carmakers, battery manufacturers and critical mineral suppliers. The 2025 edition will take place on March 18-19, 2025, at Autoworld in Brussels. This premier event, organised by Benchmark Minerals, serves as a pivotal platform for stakeholders across the electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery supply chain. Set in the heart of Europe’s political landscape, Brussels offers an ideal backdrop for government officials, industry leaders, and financial experts to convene and shape the future of the region’s lithium-ion economy, spanning from raw material extraction to electric vehicle production.

Key themes include:

• Securing Europe’s Strategic Position in the Global Energy Transition: Exploring how Europe can enhance supply chain independence through policies like the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA).
• Strengthening Europe’s Critical Mineral Supply Chains – From Mining to Recycling: Discussing opportunities for localizing mining, refining, and battery recycling to create a circular economy.
• Next-Generation Technologies and Battery Innovation: Examining opportunities for European leadership in cathode and anode materials and exploring innovation trends that may disrupt the market.
• Financing the Energy Transition: Unlocking Capital for Mining and Manufacturing: Highlighting opportunities for green capital investment, including ESG-linked funds, government grants, and public-private partnerships.
• Integrating Batteries into Europe’s Energy Ecosystem: Investigating energy storage solutions, from grid-scale batteries to repurposed EV batteries for microgrids and fast-charging networks.

Thore Sekkenes, EBA250 Programme Director, will moderate the panel discussion What’s Next for Europe’s Battery Industry? on Tuesday, March 18, 2:25 PM – 3:00 PM. If you are planning to attend, be sure to liaise with him to discuss key insights and opportunities within Europe’s evolving battery landscape.
