On 13 February 2026, the European BATMASS project will host the Second CBV Interregional Forum, organised in the framework of the event “Structuring the Battery Value Chain: Regulation & Circular Economy”, by project partner TEAM2 together with the S3PI Artois.
The event will be held in a hybrid format, in person in Béthune (France) and online, from 8:30 to 12:30, and will be conducted in French.
As the industrial production of lithium-ion batteries has become a strategic priority for Europe’s resilience and sovereignty, this second CBV Interregional Forum will address the major technical, logistical, regulatory and environmental challenges facing the sector. Particular attention will be given to the need for a fully circular battery value chain, capable of managing end-of-life batteries and production scrap, while exploring reuse solutions to extend battery lifetime without compromising performance.
Building on the outcomes of the first CBV Interregional Forum, this second edition will further strengthen interregional dialogue and collaboration, providing an updated overview of the current state of development of the battery value chain within BATMASS and highlighting the key milestones required to accelerate its growth and ensure full circularity.
A forum to structure and connect the battery ecosystem
The Second CBV Interregional Forum will focus on:

Promoting collaboration between industrial players and other key stakeholders.
-
Showcasing pioneering regional and European initiatives for battery production based on secondary raw materials and for end-of-life battery treatment.
Who should attend?
This event is particularly relevant for:
-
Industrial actors across the battery value chain
-
Battery manufacturers, recyclers and reuse specialists
-
Regulatory and safety authorities
-
Research and technology organisations
-
