Giga Europe 2026

Benchmark is delighted to announce the return of Giga Europe, the premier platform for the continent's battery supply chain.

This year's event will once again return to Brussels. The home of European policy, it's the perfect place for government, industry and finance to come together and chart a course for the region's lithium ion economy, from mine to EV and energy storage end use markets.

Last Year's Key Themes:

• Securing Europe’s Strategic Position in the Global Energy Transition: Explore how Europe can enhance supply chain independence through policies like the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA).
• Strengthening Europe’s Critical Mineral Supply Chains: From Mining to Recycling: Discuss opportunities for localizing mining, refining, and battery recycling to create a circular economy.
• Next-Generation Technologies and Battery Innovation: Look at the opportunity for European leadership in cathode and anode materials and explore the innovation trends that may disrupt the market.
• Financing the Energy Transition: Unlocking Capital for Mining and Manufacturing: Highlight opportunities for green capital investment, including ESG-linked funds, government grants, and public-private partnerships.
• Integrating Batteries into Europe’s Energy Ecosystem: Investigate energy storage solutions, from grid-scale batteries to repurposed EV batteries for microgrids and fast-charging networks.
