The world’s three most influential and largest-scale professional exhibitions in the field of new energy batteries and energy storage are CIBF China International Battery Fair, EES Europe in Munich, Germany, and Battery Japan in Tokyo, Japan. Rooted respectively in the core industrial markets of China, Europe and Japan, the three exhibitions cover the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain of batteries. Boasting massive exhibition scale, high concentration of global enterprises and wide coverage of professional visitors, they serve as the weathervane for the development of the new energy industry in each region, as well as core platforms worldwide for technological exchange, new product launch, business cooperation and resource docking. Notably, Battery Japan holds three sessions every year, including the main spring exhibition in Tokyo, the autumn exhibition in Makuhari Messe, Chiba, and the Kansai exhibition in Osaka. The spring Tokyo edition is its flagship event and one of the world’s top three battery exhibitions.
