About Us

Join leading experts, researchers, and professionals at the forefront of innovation in the battery and energy storage sectors at BES-2026, taking place June 29–July 01, 2026, in London, UK.

BES-2026 offers a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and exploration of cutting-edge technologies. This year’s conference is designed to identify and address current trends, opportunities, and challenges shaping the future of the battery and energy storage industry.

Currently, lithium-ion battery technology is the cornerstone of energy storage, offering high specific energy, power density, and cycle life. These systems are widely deployed across electric vehicles, portable electronics, and increasingly for grid-scale applications. Complementary storage technologies such as redox flow batteries, lead-acid, and mechanical systems (e.g., pumped hydro, compressed air) address bulk energy requirements and long-duration storage needs. Challenges persist in cathode and electrolyte material supply constraints, thermal management, safety risks, and end-of-life recycling.

The future trajectory emphasizes emerging solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes, enabling higher energy density and enhanced safety through suppression of dendrite formation. Research into alternative chemistries, including sodium-ion, lithium-sulfur, and metal-air systems, targets cost reduction and resource abundance. Concurrently, hybrid energy storage integrating batteries with supercapacitors or hydrogen fuel cells aims to optimize power delivery and duration. Advances in AI-enabled battery management systems and real-time diagnostics will enhance operational lifespan and reliability. Furthermore, circular economy strategies and scalable recycling technologies are critical for sustainable material utilization. Collectively, these innovations will underpin the transition toward resilient, cost-effective, and low-carbon energy infrastructure with broad applications from electric mobility to grid stabilization and long-duration energy storage.

Attendees will benefit from the opportunity to connect with industry peers, explore new projects, forge strategic partnerships, and gain valuable insights into real-world solutions. The event encourages open dialogue and the sharing of experiences, helping participants learn from one another's successes and challenges.

With a carefully curated agenda featuring interactive sessions, expert-led discussions, and dedicated networking opportunities, BES-2026 delivers the most relevant technical, commercial, and market-driven content. Speakers and attendees from across the globe will provide honest, forward-looking perspectives on the state and future of the industry.

BES-2026 is proud to support peer-to-peer learning and meaningful connections that inspire progress and innovation across the battery and energy storage landscape.
