The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai International Lithium Battery Technology and Application Exhibition (CBTC)

• China’s most influential professional brand event in the lithium battery and energy storage sectors.Since its inception in 2016, the exhibition has successfully held twelve editions. Jointly organized by leading authorities in China’s new energy industry and specialized exhibition agencies, it focuses on the entire lithium battery value chain and integrated applications of energy storage systems. Anchored in Shanghai—a premier hub for the new energy sector—and extending its reach across the Yangtze River Delta and the national market, the event has evolved into a comprehensive platform that combines product showcases, technical exchanges, and business negotiations. For enterprises, participation offers a strategic gateway to stay abreast of cutting-edge lithium battery technologies, connect with key players in the energy storage ecosystem, and expand both domestic and international markets.
• Comprehensive coverage of the entire industry chain, with five core segments meticulously presented.The exhibit lineup spans lithium battery technologies and materials—including cathode and anode materials, separators, electrolytes, and cells—alongside lithium battery manufacturing equipment and testing instruments, energy storage systems and solutions such as commercial/industrial storage, residential storage, and portable storage, battery management systems (BMS), and power batteries and their applications in new energy vehicles. From upstream materials to end-use applications, and from individual cells to system integration, the exhibition fully showcases innovative advancements across the entire lithium battery and energy storage value chain.
• A global buyer network, fostering an international trade‑matching hub.Leveraging Shanghai’s strategic position as a major international base for the new energy industry, the event annually attracts professional buyers from sectors including new energy vehicles, consumer electronics, power systems, telecommunications backup power, and photovoltaic‑storage integration. The 2025 edition will feature 250 exhibiting companies and draw 25,000 professional visitors, including procurement decision‑makers from leading enterprises such as BYD, CATL, Gotion High‑Tech, and EVE Energy. Concurrent one‑on‑one procurement matchmaking sessions provide exhibitors with a precise and efficient platform to engage directly with key buyers.
• Deep integration of “exhibition + conference,” creating a collaborative innovation platform for industry, academia, research, and application.In parallel with the exhibition, the China (Shanghai) International Battery Industry Conference, the Energy Storage Technology Development Forum, and other related events are held, bringing together academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, industry experts, and corporate leaders to conduct in-depth discussions on hot topics such as solid‑state batteries, sodium‑ion batteries, flow batteries, photovoltaic‑storage integration, and battery recycling. Onsite expert briefings on the latest policy trends and technology roadmaps offer enterprises a high‑level think tank to better understand industry dynamics and access resources spanning academia, research, and industry.
• Focusing on next‑generation energy storage and green transformation, setting the tone for industry innovation.Aligned with the “dual carbon” goals and broader energy transition trends, the exhibition highlights cutting‑edge innovations such as high‑safety energy storage batteries, liquid‑cooled energy storage systems, photovoltaic‑storage integrated solutions, and digital battery management technologies. From commercial and industrial storage to residential applications, and from electric vessels to heavy‑duty electric trucks, the range of energy storage use cases continues to expand, while intelligent and digital technologies accelerate their penetration, providing enterprises with an authoritative stage to showcase their innovative capabilities and secure technological leadership.
