Taking battery production glocal to meet net zero targets – Ep. 11
There is a really big shift in the battery industry to bring manufacturing closer to the centers of need and produce locally. But doing this still relies on existing global supply chains, hence the push for glocalization. Making a successful debut in this new mode of operation requires working with the right team and being able to work from great experiential knowledge. But the rewards for this work are worth it in becoming a more sustainable battery manufacturer.
For episode 11 of the Battery Podcast we have a discussion of how one company managed this change to the industry – KORE Power – along with voices out of Siemens Financial Services and Siemens Smart Infrastructure. This episode is a little longer than usual, but it was just too great a conversation to leave anything out, so let’s dive into KORE Power’s journey in the US battery market.
What you’ll learn:
- [2:55] What is KORE Power
- [10:45] The need for glocal manufacturing
- [14:40] The challenges to creating a strong ecosystem
- [20:10] Investing in something new
