This session examines how Europe’s battery policy framework aligns with technological development across the value chain — and where greater coordination is needed to support competitiveness and deployment.

• How do key battery technologies across the value chain align with current EU policy frameworks?
• Where do policy and funding fail to reflect technological needs or industrial realities?
• To what extent are innovation policy instruments effectively supporting different technology pathways?
• What needs to change to better align policy with technology development in the coming years?
