Ready for the EU battery regulation

The new European Battery Regulation has come into force and poses major challenges for many companies. Based on the product categories EV (electric vehicles), LMT (light mobile transportation) and stationary batteries, we will discuss important topics such as: "What role do I play in the battery value chain, or do I perhaps have multiple roles?" and "How can I be compliant, and what strategies are there to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage?" We will also take a look at the upcoming requirements of the digital product passport for batteries.
