A NETWORK OF BATTERY EXPERTS
LiPLANET’s overall objective is to create an European innovation and production ecosystem. We plan to build a more competitive Lithium battery cell manufacturing ecosystem and increase the production of Lithium cells towards industrial scale, by bringing together the most relevant European Lithium battery cell pilot lines and the main stakeholders of the battery sector.
THE LiPLANET PILOT LINES
We gather 12 of the most relevant pilot lines for research and development of Lithium battery cells in Europe within our network.
