About this Webinar
Batteries are omnipresent. From handheld flashlights and wrist-worn watches to smartphones, laptops, tablets, and EVs, batteries untether us from mains electricity. Batteries will become one of the world’s most significant industries over the next 10 years as stored energy becomes vital in tackling climate change. An energy conversion mega-trend is forming, and a high-growth, high-profile, and mission-critical global battery industry is emerging with it. China’s control of the entire global supply chain, from mines and refiners to component markers and cell producers, is a mounting geopolitical issue. Questions remain on whether there will be enough of them.
