Global Top 3 Battery Industry Expo 'InterBattery 2020' Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] The 'InterBattery 2020,' one of the world's top three battery exhibitions, will be held for three days from the 21st to the 23rd at COEX Hall A in Seoul. As part of social distancing measures, the opening ceremony, which usually gathers large crowds, will be omitted.

Now in its 8th year, InterBattery is a battery-specialized exhibition hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Battery Industry Association and COEX. It is considered one of the world's top three battery industry exhibitions alongside Battery Japan and CIBF (China International Battery Fair).

This year, a total of 198 companies with 390 booths will participate, making it the largest event ever despite the COVID-19 situation. Although participation from overseas companies has decreased, global big three battery companies Samsung SDI, LG Chem, SK Innovation, as well as the Canadian Embassy and the British Embassy will attend. Additionally, a special hydrogen pavilion, H2WORLD, themed around hydrogen, will be newly exhibited.

Moreover, a wide range of products across all fields will be displayed, including next-generation batteries, which are attracting attention as core technologies of the 4th industrial revolution, supercapacitors, materials and components, equipment, and applications.

Simultaneously held 'The Battery Conference' offers an opportunity to hear from leading global battery industry experts about future trends and visions in the battery industry. The conference will be held over two days, from the 22nd to the 23rd, and will require paid admission.
