Raise your profile

We invite organisations with an interest in electrochemical energy storage research to support the conference by becoming a sponsor and exhibiting. We aim to share our 2025 sponsorship opportunities in January.

Gain new insights

This year’s conference focused on ‘The Battery Breakthrough: From Research, to Scale-up, to Manufacturing’. We are looking forward to sharing the theme for 2025 in January – keep your eyes peeled!

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.
