Title: LiPLANET 2.0 – Accelerating European Battery Industrialization Through Open-Access Infrastructure and Ecosystem Continuity
Event: International Battery Production Conference (IBPC 2026)
Date: November 5, 2026
Location: Steigenberger Parkhotel, Braunschweig, Germany
Speakers: Prof. Dr. Arno Kwade, and Dr. Payam Hashemi
Overview
At the upcoming International Battery Production Conference (IBPC 2026) in Braunschweig, LiPLANET will present a strategic keynote on how open-access pilot infrastructure, agile technical task forces, and permanent knowledge preservation are building Europe’s battery manufacturing backbone.
Key Highlights of the Presentation
- Single Access Point for Startups & SMEs: Delivering a streamlined “One-Stop-Shop” model across European pilot lines to drastically reduce CAPEX/OPEX burdens and expedite market entry for novel cell concepts, as anchored in the High Tech Agenda Deutschland (HTAD Milestone Bat-FuE7).
- De-Risking Material & Equipment Scale-Up: Operating 10kg–1t pilot-scale testbeds where active material producers (powders, PFAS-free binders, solid electrolytes) and machinery suppliers validate processability under realistic manufacturing conditions.
- Ecosystem Continuity: Implementing standardized knowledge-transfer and data preservation frameworks to prevent project “restarts” and prevent data loss across Horizon Europe funding cycles.
- Strategic EU Alignment: Connecting national roadmaps with pan-European R&I priorities under BEPA working groups and the BATT4EU 2.0 framework.
