DESCRIPTION:<a href="http://batteryemergingmarkets.org">EMBATCON-2026: Emer
 ging Markets Battery Conference</a>\nWe believe that the next era of globa
 l wealth won’t be written in oil\, but in ions. Batteries are already re
 wiring and reshaping emerging economies in profound ways. This revolution 
 has largely gone unnoticed and absent from major global battery fora - tha
 t is\, until now! EMBATCON-2026 is the inaugural event of a new conference
  series titled Emerging Markets Battery Conference that is dedicated to sh
 owcasing major developments in the battery sector in emerging economy coun
 tries. The event will bring together 300 delegates\, predominantly from th
 e Global South\, on a single-minded mission to rewrite the story of batter
 ies in emerging economies. This conference series is set to be the annual 
 flagship forum for all architects of the battery revolution in emerging ec
 onomy countries. The scope of the conference spans the entire battery valu
 e chain: critical minerals\; discoveries and innovations in battery materi
 als\; cell manufacturing\; battery pack assembly and system integration\; 
 electric vehicle applications\; grid-scale and other stationary applicatio
 ns\; recycling and circular economy\; battery safety and standards\; and p
 olicies and investment. The conference brings together the sector's finest
  minds to exchange knowledge at the frontier of battery science and techno
 logy\, share best practice\, innovate solutions to overcome sector challen
 ges\, and to create new opportunities to advance the electrification agend
 a of the Global South. To reflect its regional scope\, the conference venu
 e will rotate annually among emerging economy countries. We warmly invite 
 researchers\, academics\, industry experts\, innovators\, and policymakers
  to submit abstracts of original research (papers\, case studies\, etc.) f
 or oral or poster presentation at EMBATCON-2026. This inaugural internatio
 nal conference\, dedicated to advancing the nascent battery ecosystems of 
 emerging markets\, addresses key [...]
