Overview

InterBattery Awards discovers and honors innovative technologies and products in the battery industry, with the aim of driving industry-wide advancement and strengthening global competitiveness.

At the 2025 Awards, the winning products were selected based on technical excellence, innovation, marketability, and contribution to industry development.

Now in its third year, InterBattery Awards 2026 will continue to fairly and objectively evaluate the performance of each technology itself, while also introducing Five Key Narratives as a guiding framework to bring the messages and direction of InterBattery 2026 to life on the exhibition floor.

- Policy & Regulation (How well the product or technology aligns with changing policies, regulations, and standards.)
- Supply Chain Response (The degree to which the technology or product contributes to building a stable and diversified battery value chain)
- Sustainability (Reflection of eco-friendliness, ESG values, and circular-economy principles across the product lifecycle)
- New Market Opportunities (Market competitiveness and the potential to create or respond to new and emerging demand)
- Reliability & Safety (Level of technical reliability, safety verification, and compliance with relevant standards)

InterBattery Awards 2026 serves as a leading platform for shaping the future of the battery industry, showcasing exhibitors’ innovative achievements, and amplifying these messages across the exhibition and the broader industry.
