Synopsis
The Nordic countries are at the forefront of the global race for green batteries. With the aim of leading Europe and the rest of the world away from fossil fuels, the region is ramping up collaboration and investments to create a sustainable battery value chain that is fit for the future.
Why are Norway, Sweden and Finland in a prime position to meet the surging demand for batteries as e-mobility and the clean energy transition accelerate? How can the Nordics lay a foundation for the EU’s goal of strategic autonomy in battery production? And how will the new EU Battery Regulation impact industry growth?
