2025: Energy Storage Seminar 2 – Education and Innovation in the Evolving and Unpredictable Battery Sector

Wednesday 19 March

Music Hall

Free of Charge

Join us for an international Voltage Project seminar on how education must evolve to keep pace with the rapidly changing battery industry. As market dynamics, technological breakthroughs, and policy shifts redefine the sector, training and education must stay agile.
Through real-world case studies—from Portugal’s Battery Cluster and Gothenburg’s development initiatives to Finnish vocational and higher education—we’ll examine how the future workforce is being shaped. Experts from academia, industry, and regional governance will discuss the vital role of collaboration in building a resilient education and training ecosystem for the battery industry or any emerging industry.
