The Battery Production Days 2026 will put start-ups from the battery production sector in the spotlight. Young companies can apply for the BPD Start-up Challenge from July 1 through August 31. The second edition of Battery Production Days will take place on October 20 and 21, 2026, in Aachen.
Application Period Begins in Early July
The challenge is aimed at startups developing technologies and solutions for future battery manufacturing. Applications are submitted via an online form, and a pitch deck must also be provided. Applications will be reviewed by a jury composed of industry and applied research representatives.
Finalists to Present in Aachen
Selected finalists will present their solutions at Battery Production Days 2026 through live pitches on stage, as well as potentially in the exhibition area. This will give the startups access to an expert audience from the battery industry, manufacturing, and applied research.
Battery Production Days will take place at the Manfred-Weck-Haus in Aachen. The event is expected to draw 250 participants and feature six sessions offering more than 15 hours of networking. It is aimed at executives, production managers, engineers, researchers, startups, and companies from the battery value chain, among others.
Tickets for the conference are available via the registration page. More information on how to apply is available on the BPD Start-up Challenge website.
