Giga Europe 2026 - the premier conference for the continent's mine-to-grid battery supply chain - is returning to Brussels, the heart of EU policymaking.
As Europe's industrial competitiveness, energy security and climate goals become increasingly interlinked, Giga Europe will bring together government, industry and finance to align on how to secure, scale and decarbonise regional supply chains.
Alongside unmatched networking and dealmaking opportunities, this year's agenda will spotlight:
- Strengthening Europe’s critical mineral supply chains through policy initiatives, including the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) and the REsourceEU Action Plan.
- Protecting supply chains from geopolitical risk, geo-economic fragmentation and resource nationalism.
- Scaling Europe’s battery production through industrial policy - such as the EU Battery Booster - to attract investment, cut costs, and compete with Asian suppliers.
- Strengthening Europe’s circular economy amid recycling investment challenges, guided by the EU Battery Regulation and the future Circular Economy Act.
- Aligning EV and charging industrial policy with demand realities to bolster competitiveness while meeting 2035 emission climate targets.
