2025

International Battery Summit

Powering the Future: Advancing the Global Energy Transition with Battery Technology

The Moment Everything Converged

IBS 2025 arrived at a turning point. Held on 5–6 August at Mulia Hotel, Jakarta, the summit convened at a moment when Indonesia’s battery story was no longer being written in boardrooms alone. It was being shaped by diplomats, scientists, ministers, and global manufacturers, all in the same room. For the first time, the conversations stretched beyond supply chains and into energy diplomacy, sustainability governance, and the question of what kind of battery nation Indonesia truly wants to become.
