CIBF2025 Set to Drive Innovation in Battery Technology with “Tech Sovereignty + Open Ecosystem” in Shenzhen This May

The 17th Shenzhen International Battery Technology Exchange Conference/Exhibition (CIBF2025) will take place from May 15-17 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center.
This year’s exhibition is driven by the dual themes of “Technological Sovereignty + Open Ecosystem”, bringing together over 3,200 top companies across a 300,000 square meter exhibition area.
Concurrent conferences include the “Advanced Battery Frontier Technology Seminar” and the “Current Status and Future Development of Isotope Nuclear Batteries Seminar”, focusing on solid-state battery and sodium-ion battery technologies.
Additionally, CIBF2025 will establish a full industry chain collaborative network driven by “demand-side scenario”, integrating the value chain and reshaping the industry’s DNA.
The industrial metaverse platform will assist companies in navigating technological iterations and carbon tariff strategies, achieving a dynamic balance between technological sovereignty and global competition.
In 2025, the Chinese new energy industry is expected to undergo a historic leap. Driven by the “dual carbon” goals, the global energy landscape is rapidly transforming, with China reshaping its industry discourse through technological innovation and standard output. At this pivotal moment, the 17th Shenzhen International Battery Technology Conference/Exhibition (CIBF2025) will commence from May 15-17 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. This year’s event will focus on “Technological Sovereignty + Open Ecosystem”, gathering more than 3,200 top companies and covering 300,000 square meters to emphasize collaborative innovation across the entire industry chain while releasing authoritative industry results to provide a “Chinese Solution” for global carbon neutrality.
CIBF2025 serves as a global hub for new energy technology, leading industry transformation through groundbreaking innovations:

• CATL will unveil its zero-carbon factory digital twin system, achieving an AI quality inspection rate exceeding 99.5% (based on 2025 data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), enhancing power battery efficiency by 30%.
• Huayou Cobalt will showcase its solid electrolyte industrialization plan, achieving breakthroughs in energy density and safety.
• Leading Smart will present a fully automated production line, shortening manufacturing cycles by 40% and empowering global capacity upgrades.

The concurrent conference, “Advanced Battery Frontier Technology Seminar”, will focus on solid-state and sodium-ion battery technologies. It will release the “2024 Lithium Battery White Paper”, highlighting China’s power battery global market share exceeding 60% and lithium material patents accounting for 70% of the global total, showcasing the full-cycle definition from “laboratory debut” to “industrial transformation”.
The “Current Status and Future Development of Isotope Nuclear Batteries Seminar” will explore nuclear energy to electrical energy conversion technologies, promoting breakthroughs in the application of nuclear batteries in fields such as aerospace and deep-sea exploration.
CIBF2025 is building a full industry chain collaborative network driven by “demand-side scenarios”:

• On the materials side, companies like BTR and DFN will demonstrate breakthrough technologies such as nano-silicon-based anodes and solid electrolytes.
• On the manufacturing side, BYD and Hive Energy will showcase AI production lines, promoting the internationalization of zero-carbon factory standards.
• On the equipment side, Jiatong Intelligent and Liyuanheng will present fully automated production lines to accelerate global capacity adaptation.

Central to this is the “Light Storage Charging Inspection” innovation exhibition area, which connects hydrogen energy storage and smart grid scenarios, effectively bridging the “basic research, pilot transformation, and commercial application recycling” loop. Data shows that China’s new energy-related industry scale is expected to exceed 10 trillion yuan by 2030, with CIBF becoming a core engine for technology commercialization.
The concurrent seminar, “Electric Aviation and Next-Generation Battery Technology Exchange Conference”, will link with hydrogen energy storage and smart grid scenarios, releasing the “Low-Altitude Aircraft Battery Standardization White Paper” to accelerate the commercialization of aviation battery technology. The “CIBICS Battery Industry Cooperation Forum” will focus on battery recycling and its secondary utilization, discussing pathways for building an industry closed-loop with a 95% lithium battery recovery rate.
In response to the challenges of energy transition, CIBF2025 promotes multinational collaboration:

• Standard Recognition: CATL‘s IEC standards lead the global smart manufacturing benchmarks, with a lithium battery recovery target of 95%.
• Capacity Co-construction: A memorandum of cooperation has been signed with Thailand to export an integrated “Light Storage Charging Inspection” solution to 30 countries.
• Carbon Footprint Management: A pioneering technology-sharing platform has opened 50 core patents to assist developing countries in their low-carbon transition.

CIBF is at the forefront of establishing an industrial metaverse foundation, reshaping industry logic through digital twinning:

• Technical Validation: AI algorithms simulate trillion-level market scenarios, enabling zero-cost trial-and-error to accelerate industrialization.
• Business Matching: A cloud collaboration platform achieves comprehensive simulation, promoting models like V2G and virtual power plants.
• Strategic Simulation: Real-time data predictions assist companies in navigating technological iterations and carbon tariff strategies.

Digital twin technology positions CIBF as the world’s first “virtual-real symbiotic” industrial decision-making hub, providing technological solutions for the global community.
Facing three major challenges in global energy transition—technological iteration pressure, geopolitical industrial chain restructuring, and carbon tariff barriers—CIBF2025 seeks to break through with a “China Strategy”:

• Technological Barrier Breaking: Sodium-ion batteries and solid-state batteries will prominently feature “leapfrogging” achievements.
• Institutional Innovation: The light storage charging inspection demonstration promotes new business models, responding to the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
• Ecological Co-construction: Collaboration among government, enterprises, academia, and research entities aims to build an open system of “standard recognition × capacity coordination,” achieving a dynamic balance between technological sovereignty and global competition.

With a focus on Shenzhen, we look forward to a zero-carbon future. CIBF2025 is not just a milestone in industrial evolution; it marks the starting point for the reconstruction of the global energy order. With a 300,000 square meter exhibition space, over 200 high-end summits, and 400,000 attendees, this grand event will witness:

• China’s new energy industry transitioning from scale leadership to standard leadership.
• The shift in global energy governance from rule-following to proactive output.
• The move from sustainable development as a vision to institutionalized practice.

We warmly invite global partners to join us in Shenzhen for CIBF2025, to define the future through innovation and to script a glorious chapter in the era of carbon neutrality!
