SMM 3rd Li-ion Battery Europe 2025
November 3-4
Hilton Barcelona, Spain
Organized by Shanghai Metals Market (SMM), the 3rd Li-ion Battery Europe (LiBE2025) will take place on November 3–4, 2025, at the Hilton Barcelona, Spain, gathering more than 800 delegates and 100+ global speakers from across the battery and automotive value chain. Since its launch, LiBE has established itself as Europe’s flagship platform for industry dialogue, bringing together policymakers, technology leaders, and supply chain stakeholders to address the most pressing challenges in the battery sector.
This year’s agenda focuses on EV and energy storage system battery technologies, critical raw materials supply, and circular economy solutions through advanced recycling, while also spotlighting the impact of new EU regulations such as the Battery Regulation, Battery Passport, and Critical Raw Materials Act.
With its strong track record and expanding global reach, LiBE2025 promises to be a landmark event driving innovation and collaboration in Europe’s fast-evolving energy transition landscape.
Focus & Agenda Highlights:
LiBE 2025 will offer comprehensive analysis of pivotal EU regulatory frameworks, including the European New Battery Regulation, the Battery Passport initiative, and the Critical Raw Materials Act. Discussions will also explore Multilateral battery project cooperation and strategies to strengthen the EU's lithium battery supply chain through global collaboration.
The Li-ion Battery Europe 2025 agenda is structured around three key themes with a dedicated main forum touch upon the macro picture.
EV & ESS Battery Technologies,
Raw Materials
Recycling & Circular Economy
On Day One, sessions will spotlight advances in EV and energy storage system batteries, highlighting innovations in cell chemistry, manufacturing efficiency, and integration with electric mobility and large-scale energy storage. Complementary discussions on battery materials will cover breakthroughs in cathode, anode, and electrolyte development, along with regulatory updates such as the EU Battery Passport and the New Battery Regulation, which are shaping technology adoption across Europe
On Day Two, the focus shifts to raw materials and supply chain resilience, examining the availability of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite under the framework of the Critical Raw Materials Act, while addressing global sourcing and Europe’s ambitions for strategic autonomy. The afternoon program emphasizes battery recycling and circular economy practices, exploring cutting-edge recycling technologies, second-life applications, and policy frameworks designed to close the loop in Europe’s battery value chain.
