Join the Danish Battery Summit 2 March 2023 in Sønderborg. Listen, understand and discuss competences and the value chain. Network and visit SDU labs shortly after the conference.
Danish Center for Energy Storage (DaCES), Danish Battery Society (DBS) and University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invite all with interests in batteries to the Danish Battery Summit beginning of March 2023. The Summit will take place at SDU in Sønderborg.
Danmark has a long tradition in the field of rechargeable batteries. Today, most of the activities and competences are very specialized. Can Danish battery competences be joined in playing a decisive role on a European/global scale as well as strengthening Danish stakeholders?
The purpose of the one-day event will be to unite essential competences within the Danish battery sector for discussion of individual competences and results, but also challenges and wishes. The conference aims to establish new collaborations, partnerships, and projects – or at least, generate new ideas for solving problems.
Outcome of the event should be that the different stakeholders all have the same fundamental understanding of the battery value chain. Another outcome would be to map specifically Danish competences in the value chain to see where we have unique positions industrially and commercially.

General Meeting
Our Goal
The battery research is blooming in Denmark and a number of Danish companies are already focusing on developing materials and implementing batteries in commercial products.
The active players in Denmark are often small groups and to compete internationally, we see a need for exchange of knowledge and experience, i.e. characterization methods, lab facilities, types of batteries and market trends.
In recent years a number of interest groups have been founded to meet a need of sharing knowledge within a specific type of battery chemistry or a specific application of batteries, but so far no association has tried to gather and share information across the various research areas.
The purpose of the Danish Battery Society is to create a forum to share knowledge through targeted events and an annual meeting.
