Open letter to the European Commission – Battery funding Horizon Europe

13 January 2024:

Flow Batteries Europe is proud to share the co-signed open letter urging for continued investment in battery research and innovation under the Horizon Europe programme.

In the open letter, stakeholders from the battery, materials, energy and mobility sectors urge the European Commission to champion continued investment in battery research and innovation under the BATT4EU Partnership, fortifying Europe’s global leadership in battery technologies and contributing significantly to our green transition.

The programme of the European Battery Alliance has been supported by strong commitments to battery R&I by both European Union and industry under the BATT4EU Partnership under Horizon Europe.

It is important that the European Union also stands to the commitments signed in our Partnership agreement, to support technology development at different TRL level, and to strengthen the message of their strategic importance to the battery community, investors and developers.
