Autotech Council delegates meet monthly to discover startups and innovation across automotive, mobility, and transportation technologies and build community with colleagues from like-minded corporations committed to innovation through partnership. This month we review innovation in Battery Tech with our colleagues from the Cleantech Council.

ABOUT THE TOPIC

Batteries are critical to the future of the automotive industry. So Autotech Council members and investors keep a close eye on innovation and startups in battery tech. This month, we are focusing on new technologies for big batteries and large-scale energy storage – specifically Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries and Battery Electric Energy Storage (BESS). Join in person or online for an agenda packed with tech experts, battery startups, energy investors, and plenty of time for demos and networking.

ABOUT THE MEETING

This agenda includes an expert panel sharing insight on what we can expect from Battery Electric Storage Systems over the next few years and up to 5 startups driving the BESS into this bright future. From there, we break for demos followed by an expert panel with Co-Founder & VP of Technology at Qnovo and a group of startups relevant to EV batteries. As with all Council meetings, the agenda includes in-room demo and meeting tables, startup pitches, and a networking lunch.
