The European Commission has referenced the BATMASS project in a recent statement delivered to the European Parliament within the framework of the debate on the Automotive Package and Battery Booster.
According to preliminary information shared ahead of the plenary session, BATMASS was mentioned in the context of skills development, underlining the growing importance of training, reskilling and upskilling initiatives to support Europe’s battery value chain and the competitiveness of the automotive sector.
The statement was scheduled to be delivered during the European Parliament’s plenary session on 15 December, as part of a broader policy discussion addressing industrial transformation, strategic autonomy and the transition towards clean mobility in Europe.
While the final wording of the Commission’s intervention has not yet been formally confirmed, the potential reference to BATMASS reflects the project’s alignment with European priorities on workforce preparedness, industrial innovation and the sustainable battery ecosystem.
The BATMASS Project aims to strengthen skills across the battery manufacturing and recycling value chain, supporting the deployment of advanced technologies and contributing to the long-term resilience of Europe’s automotive and energy storage industries.
