Fraunhofer Competence Center Battery Cell Production
International role of the Competence Center
The Fraunhofer Competence Center for Battery Cell Production sees itself not only as a national contact point, but also as a bridge to the international battery industry.
- North America is a particular focus here: we support companies in setting up production capacities, develop joint pilot projects and transfer innovative technologies from Europe to the North American market.
- Through this cooperation, we promote the transatlantic exchange of knowledge, accelerate the market ramp-up of sustainable cell technologies and create synergies between European and US partners.
The Competence Center is thus positioning itself as a global platform for cooperation - with Münster at the heart of industrialization.
Our Partner
- Fraunhofer IPT (Aachen): Specializes in pilot lines, special machine construction and the scaling of cell innovations (e.g. solid-state cells).
