Europe’s ability to build a competitive battery industry depends on what happens in the midstream. For processors and refiners, this is the time to showcase your capabilities, form critical partnerships, and stay ahead of tightening environmental and black mass regulation.
Whether you're sourcing consistent feedstock, qualifying materials for downstream customers, or navigating EU policy, this is where commercial and strategic alignment begins.
What you’ll gain
✔️ Strategic connections with upstream miners and downstream buyers
✔️ Insight into evolving EU waste and recycling regulation
✔️ Visibility as a midstream partner in a constrained European market
✔️ Direct input into discussions shaping policy, pricing, and investment support
Meet the full battery raw materials ecosystem and the leaders shaping its growth. You’ll engage with Feedstock Acquisition Directors from mining firms, Strategic Sourcing Leads at cathode producers, Procurement Heads from battery manufacturers, Energy Transition Investment Partners, and EU policymakers setting the rules for waste and refining capacity.
