2018 is an extremely special year for the new energy battery industry: it marks the 10th anniversary of China's promotion of the industrialization of electric vehicles, and also the 3rd year that the size of China's lithium power battery market has surpassed that of consumer lithium batteries. For China's new energy vehicle and battery industry chain, the current situation is a good opportunity for development.

Therefore, this forum attracted more than 500 heavyweight VIPs, industry entrepreneurs, experts, mainstream media, etc. from the global lithium new energy industry chain, including mineral resources, positive and negative electrode materials, separators, electrolytes, equipment, testing, battery cell manufacturing and assembly (PACK), battery management systems (BMS), new energy vehicles, charging piles, energy storage, etc. 50 keynote speakers, speakers, and interactive guests from China, Russia, the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and other countries will provide a high-density interpretation of industry hot topics, discussing the future development path of the new energy battery industry under the trend of deep reshuffle and opening up; The attending guests exchanged ideas and explored new ways for China to move from a major producer and seller of new energy vehicles and power batteries to a strong nation.

In the keynote speech on the morning of the 21st, Professor Qilu from Peking University and Chairman of the Lithium Battery "Davos" Academic Committee gave a report entitled "Prospects for Advanced Lithium Battery Technology for Electric Vehicles", sharing the 10-year development history of China's electric vehicles, the application of solid-state batteries and human batteries, etc. He pointed out that in the past decade, the development speed of electric vehicles has been slower than expected, and safety and reliability are the main reasons. However, he is not optimistic about the application of ternary materials in the field of pure electric vehicles. Qilu believes that if fuel cells are widely applied to electric vehicles, they need to be combined with lithium batteries, and their power characteristics can only be fully utilized with lithium batteries.

It is reported that the ABEC 2018 is hosted by the Lithium Battery "Davos" Organizing Committee and the Zhongguancun New Battery Technology Innovation Alliance. ABEC is a high-end brand forum based on the development of the new energy battery industry chain, striving to become a world technology and market application exchange summit and resource platform.

Since its establishment in 2013, ABEC has successfully held 5 sessions in Yichun, Jiangxi, Chengdu, Sichuan, Wuhan, Hubei, Changsha, Hunan, and Shantou, Guangdong in China. In the past five years, more than 2500 domestic and foreign companies or institutions have participated in the lithium battery "Davos" summit, involving thousands of heavyweight guests from more than 30 countries including China, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, the United States, Russia, Singapore, etc., including well-known mainstream enterprises in the lithium battery new energy industry chain, listed companies, industry associations, research institutes, universities, research institutions, funds and investment banks at home and abroad.

This forum will continue until November 23rd, and the seventh meeting of the first council of Zhongguancun New Battery Technology Innovation Alliance will also be held at the same time.
