In its 2019 Green Deal, the EU emphasised the importance of domestic EV battery production to achieve the energy transition while fostering a competitive and sustainable battery value chain. The goal is to scale up domestic EV battery production and establish a fully integrated value chain within the EU.

Join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to explore the current status of, and challenges facing, the EU’s battery raw materials industry. Questions to be addressed include:

• What is the current state of industries supplying critical raw materials, such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel, for the EV battery value chain?
• Does the European Commission’s Competitiveness Compass effectively address the industry’s concerns? Where do the major challenges lie?
• What actions are needed to build a robust and resilient EU battery raw materials industry?
• What measures can be taken to ensure sustainable domestic raw material production and recycling while expanding capacities to meet growing demand?
