the stronger the community, the more the battery business in Flanders can mean for Europe
As Europe accelerates its shift towards sustainable energy, Flanders is emerging as a key player in the rapidly evolving battery sector. The 'Battery Systems' programme, a collaborative effort with the technology federation Agoria, is at the heart of this transformation. Designed to provide a thorough understanding of the battery value chain, the programme explores both mobile applications—such as electric vehicles—and stationary solutions, including grid-connected energy storage systems.
