Pohang City is accelerating its efforts to enhance its status in the European battery market and to become a global secondary battery production hub by expanding its global network in the secondary battery industry.

Pohang City operates a promotional booth at InterBattery Europe 2024, held in Germany from the 19th to the 21st.

From the 19th to the 21st, the city is participating in 'InterBattery Europe 2024' held in Munich, Germany, where it has set up a promotional booth to actively showcase Pohang's industrial capabilities and local companies.

Following last year's independent promotional booth, this year Pohang has set up a joint booth with Gyeongbuk Province, promoting local companies such as Ecopro, New Tech Energy, Poen, and Dawon Chemical to help them advance into the global market.

The city also actively introduced Pohang's secondary battery industry ecosystem, including the National Advanced Strategic Industry Specialized Complex, which is emerging as a cathode material production hub, as well as the Pohang Blue Valley, Yeongilman Industrial Complex, and transportation infrastructure.

Prior to this, on the 18th, Pohang City and Gyeongbuk Province visited Fraunhofer IPA, the largest automation research institute in the European Union, and MESSRING, a company specializing in electric vehicle safety systems, to discuss cooperation on international standards for used battery testing and certification, as well as joint technology development.

In addition, the city actively supported the signing of a memorandum of understanding with ReLioS, a leading German recycling association, for technology exchange in the field of secondary battery recycling and reuse, further building its global network.

On the 21st, the city plans to participate in the InterBattery seminar to closely analyze major regulations related to the secondary battery industry, such as the European Battery Regulation, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and Digital Product Passport. Pohang will also listen to the battery policies of various European countries and prepare appropriate response measures.

Mayor Lee Kangdeok said, "I hope this visit serves as an opportunity to promote Pohang's outstanding secondary battery industry capabilities and companies to the world. Pohang is ready to play an even greater role in the global market, and we will actively respond to the changing global environment to lead innovation in Korea's battery industry."

Pohang City plans to actively utilize the networks established during this visit to discover international cooperation projects for revitalizing the secondary battery industry, and to further strengthen the competitiveness of Pohang's battery industry through continuous exchange of technological trends and market information.
