ATENA+ contributed to a new ICONS report analysing Europe’s battery ecosystem and the role of emerging technologies in supporting sustainable innovation and industrial scale-up.
The ATENA+ project has contributed to the new report Catalysing Battery Innovation – Driving Impact Across Europe’s Battery R&D Ecosystem, released by Fondazione ICONS. The report examines the technological trends, market dynamics and industrial challenges shaping the future of the European battery value chain.
The analysis highlights how Europe’s leadership in battery innovation will depend not only on scientific progress, but also on the capacity to scale up new technologies, strengthen resilient supply chains and develop sustainable end-of-life solutions.
In this context, research and innovation initiatives such as ATENA+ play an important role in advancing next-generation battery technologies and supporting more sustainable and competitive manufacturing pathways. In particular, projects working on alternative chemistries and more sustainable materials contribute to diversifying Europe’s range of batteries technologies and reducing dependencies on critical raw materials, key themes addressed throughout the report.
By bringing together market insights, technological analysis and innovation governance perspectives, the report provides a valuable reference for policymakers, industry and R&D actors navigating Europe’s evolving battery landscape.
