Final Conference Battery Region Project

FINAL CONFERENCE

Interreg nord Battery Region Project

September 22, 2022

Registration

  The Battery Region project has looked at the need for competence in the battery value chain as well as what training options are available in northern Sweden and northern Finland. The project has mapped the gap that exists and, among other things, new courses have been started to meet the need. Come and listen to our conclusions!

In addition to Battery Region, there are several projects that work with different perspectives within the battery value chain. It can be about competence supply, logistics, working methods, etc.

At the conference, companies in the battery value chain will also participate to describe their view of the skills needed now and in the future.

In order to gain knowledge about each other’s projects, conclusions and what need for competence exists in the future, Battery Region invites you to an opportunity for the exchange of experience and the dissemination of knowledge in the area.
