Powering the Battery Economy
– From Critical Minerals to Circular Recovery
The executive forum uniting materials producers, cell manufacturers, OEMs, recyclers, and investors to strengthen and scale the North American battery value chain.
Welcome to Battery Value Chain Xchange 2026
The global race for battery leadership is no longer defined by innovation alone, it is defined by integration. From critical minerals and next-generation chemistries to gigafactory scale-up and recycling infrastructure, competitiveness depends on alignment across the entire value chain.
Battery Value Chain Xchange 2026 convenes the leaders responsible for financing, manufacturing, integrating, and closing the loop on battery systems across North America.
Here, we move beyond siloed discussions to focus on coordination, scalability, resilience, and long-term industrial strategy.
Designed as a focused, executive-level forum, the Xchange model prioritizes strategic dialogue, commercial alignment, and long-term partnership formation over exhibition-floor noise. The future of North America's battery competitiveness will be built through collaboration across the value chain. This is where that collaboration begins.
Key Topics on This Year's Agenda
Five strategic pillars covering the materials, manufacturing, safety, and circular economy dimensions driving North America's battery value chain competitiveness in 2026.
Strengthening North America's Battery Industrial Base
Aligning capital, policy, and supply chain strategy to build a resilient domestic battery ecosystem. Exploring critical mineral security, cross-border collaboration, and long-term manufacturing competitiveness.
Commercializing Next-Generation Chemistries
Assessing the commercial readiness of Solid-State, Sodium-Ion, LFP, LMFP, and Lithium-Sulfur technologies within the North American market. Discussions focus on scalability, manufacturability, cost competitiveness, and real-world deployment timelines.
Gigafactory Optimization & Manufacturing Scale-Up
Driving yield optimization, automation integration, and quality assurance at scale. Sessions focus on operational performance, workforce development, and smart factory innovation.
Safety, Reliability & Intelligent Systems Integration
Advancing pack architecture, thermal management, predictive diagnostics, and BMS innovation to ensure reliability and regulatory alignment across automotive and stationary applications.
Circularity, Recycling & Lifecycle Economics
Strengthening domestic recycling capacity, traceability frameworks, and second-life deployment models to build a closed-loop North American battery ecosystem.
The Global Battery Ecosystem
Battery Value Chain Xchange 2026 convenes a high-level, cross-sector audience spanning the entire battery ecosystem, from resource extraction and materials processing to gigafactory production, system integration, and circular recovery.
CEOs, CTOs, VPs, and project directors from mining companies, cell manufacturers, OEMs, recyclers, and infrastructure investors. This is not a trade show -- it is a working summit for those with capital allocation and supply chain authority.
