We continue our deep dive into the prospects for Europe in developing a globally competitive position with the global battery market. In this episode I'm delighted to be joined by Philipp Wunderlich, Battery Technology Lead at Accenture to discuss the competitive issues facing the European battery ecosystem.   Speaker Notes: Philipp Wunderlich, Battery Technology Lead, Accenture  https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipp-wunderlich/   Host Ken Davies | Managing Director | GSE Media Ltd https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendavies/ ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com    Sponsorship   The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Battery Tech Europe | FIRA de Barcelona | September 2026   The battery technology sector in Southern Europe is growing rapidly, in energy storage technology, mobility and emerging applications.   Spain is the 2nd largest automotive manufacturing economy in Europe and has recently announced a huge investment to accelerate the development of the supply chain in Battery Energy Storage Systems. It’s a very exciting time for growth in the battery related supply chain in the Southern European region.   With few major battery technology events in the region, the event will provide a large and additive audience to the current events for the European EV and BESS supply chain. It will be a major addition to the roster of battery industry events.   https://batterytechexpoeurope.com/   or contact me at ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com   Announcing the Drone Battery Tech Expo | February 2026 | Lille, France   Drone Battery Tech Expo which will take place at Lille Grand Palais, France on Thursday, 5th February 2026, exploring the latest developments in next generation battery technology for specific use within UAV, eVTOL, UUV and USV Innovation.   In collaboration with the highly successful Battery Tech Expo France and the Battery Technology Podcast, the Drone Battery Tech Expo is a must-attend conference and trade event for professionals seeking insights into the future of battery power solutions tailored to the design of next generation of unmanned vehicles.   Visitor tickets are complimentary and grant access to both the Drone Battery Tech Expo and Battery Tech Expo France.   https://www.dronebatterytechexpo.com/ ken.davies@dronebatterytechexpo.com
