The Bay Area Battery Summit (BABS), now in its sixth consecutive year, catalyzes collaboration among key players in the energy storage sector in California to drive innovation to commercialization. The virtual summit will provide extensive networking opportunities to allow the ecosystem to share business opportunities, funding, talent, and insights.
This year’s conference will focus on the implementation of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC), which aims to scale technologies from the lab to manufacturing and the marketplace. Highly sought-after startups and top-tier researchers will join discussions with global leading manufacturers, buyers, and funding sources to survey the landscape and present their innovations, challenges, and areas for collaborations.
AMO Chief Engineer Joe Cresko will moderate a panel on the energy storage value chain and provide an overview of manufacturing's role in DOE's Energy Storage Grand Challenge.
