Thanks for supporting us

We thank all 32 industry companies who supported the 2025 conference via exhibiting and/or sponsoring – without you the conference would not be possible!                                                                                                               

Thanks for joining us

We thank all 600 participants from across the electrochemical energy storage research, development and innovation ecosystem who attended our 2025 Conference, and in particular our 2025 hosts from WMG University of Warwick.

The Faraday Institution is the UK’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage research, skills development, market analysis, and early-stage commercialisation. It brings together research scientists and industry partners on commercially valuable projects to reduce battery cost, weight, and volume; improve performance and reliability; and develop whole-life strategies including recycling and reuse.
