Cumulative demand for batteries is expected to grow with more than 700% up to 1,700 GWh by 2030 due to the accelerated electrification in transportation and grid storage. In the wake of mega electric vehicle plant announcements of nearly all large automotive producers, your company has to decide rather quickly where to locate your new manufacturing plant(s) in the US, Europe, China and/or Asia as part of the fast growing global battery value chains.

How do you make a well-based location decision taking into account all cost factors (e.g. land, labor, utilities, taxes/incentives), quality of the business environment factors (like availability of the right workforce, labor relations, electric vehicle/battery ecosystem, accessibility, ease of doing business) and risk factors (think of risks related to international trade tensions/tariffs; financial and economic risks; IP, legal and transparency risks; and natural disaster risks)?

Topics which will be addressed during the webinar:

  • What are the technological and locational trends in battery value chains?
  • What is the best approach for developing a future proof manufacturing footprint (global, regional) and how can a scenario approach support this process?
  • How to select the optimal location for a new manufacturing plant in Europe, the US, China or Asia?
  • How is the labor market pressure in ‘hot’ regions around the world impacting footprint and location decisions?
  • Opportunities and pitfalls of economic incentives when setting up a new plant?
