The Shanghai International Battery Technology Exhibition (SNEC), under the theme “Empowering Green Hydrogen, Advancing Carbon Neutrality,” aligns closely with the nation’s dual-carbon goals and the hydrogen‑energy demonstration city cluster strategy. The event brings together government authorities, international organizations, leading scholars, financial institutions, and global industry leaders, focusing on technological breakthroughs across the entire value chain—production, storage, transpor
The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai International Battery Technology Exhibition
- One of the largest and most influential annual events in the global energy storage and battery technology industry. SNEC ES+ (SNEC International Energy Storage and Battery Technology & Equipment Exhibition), co-organized by authoritative bodies such as the Global Green Energy Council, the Asia-Pacific New Energy Industry Association, and the European Energy Storage Industry Association, is a core exhibition within SNEC’s comprehensive “Photovoltaics–Energy Storage–Hydrogen” industrial chain. Since its inception in 2007, the SNEC brand has become the “Oscar” of the global photovoltaic industry, while SNEC ES+, the energy storage and battery show, is widely recognized across the sector as a leading indicator and catalyst for the development of global energy storage and battery technologies.
- A one-stop platform covering the entire industry chain. The exhibition encompasses every link in the value chain, including energy storage batteries, battery materials, system integration, energy storage PCS, BMS, EMS, thermal management systems, fire safety and security solutions, intelligent manufacturing equipment, and integrated solar–storage–charging systems. From individual cells to complete system integration, from commercial and industrial-scale storage to large-scale power stations, and from residential smart energy solutions to virtual power plant dispatch platforms, exhibitors can seamlessly connect—from technology showcases and brand exposure to business negotiations—within this single venue.
- Precise matchmaking with global buyers and key industry resources. The event brings together leading domestic and international companies, including Huawei Digital Power, GCL Group, CATL, BYD, Sungrow, EVE Energy, and others, attracting government, academic, and industrial representatives as well as professional buyers from dozens of countries worldwide. During the exhibition, bilateral cooperation meetings for energy storage projects provide exhibitors with strategic opportunities to engage directly with European energy storage delegations, Middle Eastern procurement groups, and Southeast Asian purchasing teams.
- Unique value for Chinese enterprises—brand globalization and technological leadership as strategic engines. As the world’s largest market and manufacturing hub for energy storage, China relies on SNEC ES+ as a central platform for Chinese energy storage companies to showcase their proprietary technologies and connect with domestic and international clients. The exhibition draws professional buyers and official delegations from major global markets, including Germany, France, Spain, the United States, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Participating companies can directly address international procurement needs and seize early opportunities in the global energy storage market.
- A Cutting-Edge Platform for Technological Innovation and Industry TrendsThe exhibition highlights three major technological trends in the energy storage sector: large-capacity battery cells (with models of 587 Ah and above poised to become the next mainstream), high-energy-density systems (with 6 MWh+ energy storage systems unveiled en masse), and intelligent operations and maintenance (where AI‑driven energy storage management systems have emerged as key selling points for commercial, industrial, and residential applications). Emerging technologies such as grid‑forming energy storage, long-duration storage, and solid-state batteries are also central topics of the event.
- A Strategic Hub for High-End Forums and Global Industry CollaborationConcurrent with the exhibition, more than 20 parallel forums will be held, including the Global Green Energy Leaders’ Dialogue, the Cutting-Edge Conference on Photovoltaic–Storage Integration, the AI + Energy and Digitalization in Energy Summit, and the Energy Storage and Hydrogen Investment, Financing, and ESG Finance Summit. These events bring together government leaders, industry academicians, and top executives from leading global companies to discuss the future of the sector, providing exhibitors with an authoritative platform to gain insights into policy developments, technological trends, and market opportunities.
- Shanghai’s Geographical Location and Industrial AdvantagesAs a global financial center and a hub of scientific and technological innovation, Shanghai boasts comprehensive exhibition facilities and a highly convenient international transportation network. Leveraging the complete industrial chain of the Yangtze River Delta region and the Hongqiao International Central Business District’s role as a global enabler for new energy, SNEC ES+ offers exhibitors a strategic location to connect with global markets and access international capital.
