- The fifth edition of the Battery Innovation Days (BID) will take place on 2-3 December 2025 in Graz, Austria and online for two days of captivating dialogue among the research community, policymakers, industry players and end-users.
- The EU-INGENIOuS Cluster participates once again as a cluster sponsor of the BID and will host a stand.
- On December 1st the EU-INGENIOuS, will participate at the COLLABAT cluster parallel session at the Lendhafen Graz working space sustainability and impact of battery clusters beyond project duration
Bordeaux, France – November 18 , 2025 — TEMPEST will participate for the third consecutive year in Battery Innovation Days 2025, in Graz, Austria. The EU-funded project is advancing the development of safe, recyclable, lightweight, and high-performance batteries for transportation applications by 2026.
TEMPEST will be present at its exhibitor booth alongside other EU-INGENIOuS clustering group projects: BATSS, EXTENDED, NEXTBAT, and VERSAPRINT. Together, these initiatives are driving safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable battery solutions, contributing to Europe’s green transition and the Sustainable Development Goals.
TEMPEST and the EU-INGENIOuS cluster will also attend a parallel session organized by the COLLABAT cluster on December 1st at the Lendhafen Graz working space. This session will focus on sustainability and the long-term impact of battery clusters, featuring contributions from CINEA, BEPA, Battery 2030+, LiPlanet, and other clusters such as TwinBATT.
Battery Innovation Days 2025 provides a platform for stakeholders across the European R&I battery ecosystem to connect, exchange insights, and explore the latest technological innovations.
TEMPEST: TEMPEST is the European Project to provide a new generation of batteries needed by Europe and its key sectors. Led by RESCOLL, TEMPEST is made up by ABEE, Fraunhofer, IAAPS, the Kemijski inštitut – National Institute of Chemistry. Tekniker, the Universities of Kaunas, Patras, and Bath, Sustainable Innovations. This project has received €3,614,902.50, is co-funded by the European Union under grant agreement 101103681 and UKRI – UK Research and Innovation under the UK government’s Horizon Europe, under grant agreement 10075481.
BATSS: Guided by an innovative Safe-by-Design approach, BATSS aims to develop a cell-to-pack modular battery system concept that ensures exceptional safety and electro-thermal performance for off-road e-vehicles and semi-stationary applications. Through specific thermal, electrical, and mechanical innovations, we will meet industry standards supported by cutting-edge modelling, simulation, and predictive maintenance tools. Beyond performance, we are focused on sustainable end-of-life solutions, including modular assembly, automated disassembly, and second-life exploration. This project has received € 4 990 149,75 of funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 101103821.
EXTENDED: EXTENDED, a Horizon Europe project, is a collaborative effort bringing together 19 partners from 10 EU countries! Our mission is to design, develop, and validate the next-generation battery pack systems that will drive the mass-market adoption of electric vehicles and applications. EXTENDED project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101102278.
NEXTBAT: NEXTBAT is a European project aiming to develop safe-by-design battery systems that reduce the carbon footprint of innovative battery technology and speed up transport electrification. By emphasizing recyclability throughout the production chain, the project aims to lower production costs. It focuses on creating the safest, most sustainable battery system by addressing electrical, thermal, and mechanical safety aspects, and by introducing digitalized production processes and advanced battery management techniques. The project also introduces innovative materials and processes to enhance performance, safety, and recyclability, while striving to establish new industry standards within the European battery sector. Two complementary prototypes will be manufactured as part of the project.
VERSAPRINT: VERSAPRINT is a European project aiming at bringing innovations to the battery system to tackle safety issues, enhance performances as well as decrease the cost and environmental impact. Versatile technical solutions (Building Blocks – BB) will be achieved by additive manufacturing processes and will operate from the heart of the battery system. A simulation platform and decision tool will also be implemented in order to connect the BBs to a varied range of applications such as automobile, aeronautic, waterway transport and others. The project VERSAPRINT is composed of 10 partners: CEA, LEITAT, FEV GmbH, CRF, SONACA, EFESTO, ABEE, LOMARTOV, RWTH, Plastic Omnium. This project has received 4.9 M of funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 101103696.
About Battery Innovation Days:
Battery Innovation Days is organized by the Batteries European Partnership Association (BEPA) in partnership with Battery 2030+ and the Batteries IPCEIs (Important Project of Common European Interest). The 2025 edition will convene researchers, industry leaders, policymakers and innovators to discuss breakthroughs across materials, cell design, manufacturing, recycling, and deployment.
