About the Workshop
This workshop, hosted by the greenSPEED project in collaboration with GIGABAT, supports LiPLANET’s efforts to advance quality and sustainability standards for battery R&D pilot lines.
Battery pilot lines are critical for driving innovation in battery technologies. However, ensuring that all pilot lines meet industry expectations for quality and sustainability remains a challenge. To address this, LiPLANET is developing a Seal of Approval — designed to highlight pilot lines that demonstrate excellence in these key areas and to allow industry partners to identify pilot lines that fulfill relevant quality and sustainability requirements.
Join us for this hands-on workshop to learn more about the initiative and directly contribute to shaping the design of the criteria.
Where & When?
The workshop will be held on site in Graz at at the premise of Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH, Inffeldgasse 21a, 8010 Graz, Austria. The workshop will be facilitated on Monday, May 26th 2025, from 15:30 to 18:00.
Why Join This Workshop?
This is a unique opportunity for industry professionals, battery experts, and R&D leaders to influence the development of the approval seal. By participating, you will:
-
- Gain Early Access – Get an inside look at the Seal of Approval before its official rollout.
- Influence Industry Standards – Ensure that the criteria reflect real-world needs and challenges.
- Connect with Key Stakeholders – Engage with battery industry experts, pilot line operators, and R&D leaders.
- Stay Ahead of the Market – Understand how verified pilot lines will benefit industry partners and customers.
- Contribute to a More Sustainable Battery Ecosystem – Help validate quality and sustainability benchmarks for the battery sector.
Your insights will directly impact the final criteria of the Seal of Approval, making it a practical and valuable tool for both pilot lines and their industry partners.
Join us to shape the future of quality and sustainability verification in battery R&D pilot lines.
