The National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) held the International Battery Summit (IBS) 2024 at the Mulia Senayan Hotel, Jakarta. IBS 2024 is a strategic event towards the Indonesia International Sustainable Forum (ISSF) 2024.
IBS 2024 will not only focus on technology, but also on the battery industry aspect. Participants will discuss how they can work together to create business opportunities and strategic alliances.
“Batteries may look small, but their role is very big, There is no energy transition without batteries. The two most important investments in the energy transition are renewable energy and battery energy storage systems,” said NBRI Founder Evvy Kartini as the organizer.
IBS 2024 (July 29-30) was attended by 70 speakers and 483 participants from 285 industries and institutions from 20 countries. IBS 2024 aims to foster a strong ecosystem for Indonesia’s growing battery industry, bringing together all key stakeholders in a joint effort to position Indonesia as a global leader in battery production and innovation.
It is stated that IBS 2024 serves as an important platform for industry leaders, government officials, researchers, and business professionals to gather and discuss the future of battery technology in Indonesia. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and strategic growth, the meeting will feature a series of keynote presentations, panel discussions, and exhibitions showcasing the latest advances and trends in battery technology.
The meeting underlined the importance of building a strong and independent battery ecosystem in Indonesia, which will enable the country to become a leading player in the global market. By leveraging local resources and expertise, Indonesia aims to not only meet domestic demand but also export high-quality battery products to the international market.
