The Hungarian Battery Association and White Paper Consulting will organise the Hungarian Battery Days for the sixth time in 2026.

Over the years, the conference has become the most important annual meeting point for high-level representatives of the battery industry in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond.

The event offers a unique platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers to engage in meaningful discussions on the technological, economic, and sustainability challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the battery sector. 

Building on the success of previous editions, this year’s event will be a two-day programme, featuring a professional conference on the first day and site visits on the second day.

Debrecen is the only city in Europe with a complete battery value chain — from precursors and electrodes to cells, EV components, vehicle assembly, and recycling. Major industry leaders such as CATL, EVE Energy, and BMW have established a strong presence here. The city is at the forefront of Europe’s e-mobility transformation, driving innovation and high-tech manufacturing.
