While many established industries may only highlight the relationship between manufacturers and their suppliers, new or growing industries contain many more facets to success. For battery industry, this means research from universities, manufacturing practices from OEMs, optimized equipment from the machine builders, and partners like Siemens. Because of how rapidly the battery industry is growing, we wanted to highlight an amazing conversation with different industry voices for an episode of the Battery Podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderated by Chris Brow, you will hear from Sebastian Wolf (COO of PowerCo), Dr. Stephan Witt (COO of Jagenberg), Dr. Heiner Heimes (Member of Institute Management RWTH Aachen University), and Michael Thomas (Senior VP of Factory Automation at Siemens). We hope you enjoy this great stage presentation if you couldn\u2019t attend in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you\u2019ll learn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>[2:55] The challenge of creating new regionalized capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[9:25] What competition means in a new battery ecosystem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[12:50] Proving sustainability in the battery ecosystem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[19:50] Hopes for the next year in the battery ecosystem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in learning more about our battery solutions?
