On 17 March 2026, the European BATMASS project will host the first CBV Investors Forum – Accelerating EU Battery Investments for a Sustainable Future, an invitation-only event bringing together investors, policymakers and circular battery innovators. The forum will take place in Brussels, at the Lombardy Region Offices, and will be held in English.
The CBV Investors Forum aims to foster strategic dialogue and concrete investment opportunities to scale up circular battery technologies across Europe. By connecting public and private investors with high-potential startups, scaleups and industrial players, the event will contribute to strengthening Europe’s industrial leadership, resilience and sustainability in the battery sector.
As Europe accelerates its efforts to secure a competitive, sovereign and circular battery value chain, investment has become a critical lever to move from innovation to industrial deployment. In this context, the CBV Investors Forum will provide a unique platform to discuss financing strategies, regulatory frameworks and market opportunities supporting the re-industrialisation of the European battery ecosystem.
The agenda will combine high-level policy discussions with concrete investment perspectives, featuring keynote speeches from European institutions and financial actors, panel discussions on investment-enabling policies, and pitching sessions showcasing innovative battery startups and scaleups active across the value chain, from recycling to advanced materials.
