At the Sixth Hungary Battery Day in Debrecen, industry participants said Chinese
firms' investment and technology advantages create material opportunities for
the European battery sector and urged stronger China–EU cooperation to boost
competitiveness and sustainability. Ilka von Dalvik, secretary-general of the
European Advanced Rechargeable and Lithium Battery Industries Association, said
China is at the forefront of battery technology and cooperation offers Europe a
chance to learn Chinese technology and experience. An IEA energy modeller said
continued EV and energy-storage growth will sustain rising battery demand and
diversify its regional distribution.
