The
BATMASS
CONCEPT

BATMASS aims to implement the first EU Circular Battery Valley. It offers a portfolio of cross-regional investments in TRL6+ innovations in circular technologies and processes for battery materials.

BATMASS will mobilize a fully comprehensive interregional ecosystem around 4 Demonstrators meant to scale up, commercialize and deploy breakthrough GreenTech. It taps into the innovation power of RTOs and SMEs to accelerate market entry and international replication across EU regions and beyond. Tech transfers between less developed, transition and developed regions is expected to structure this emerging value chain and anchor it into regional innovation ecosystems.

Environmental, territorial and social impact

Interregional demonstration

BATMASS brings together 15 full partners from 11 EU regions to embed their regional ecosystems. They bring complementary technological capabilities but also federate a collective investment capacity that can leverage the full value chain.

Investment

Demonstration partners will commercialize but also fully industrialize their solutions within and beyond EU borders. I3 will therefore not only support our 4 leading-edge Demonstrators but will also tackle the on-boarding of investors and the framework conditions that greatly impact circular battery tech deployment

Innovation

Fully integrated and connected value chain through which by-products undergo transformation in sequential demonstrators that mark each segment of the value chain and close the full circular loop from waste back into production
