Rare Opportunity to Visit CATL’s Debrecen Gigafactory Announced for Fastmarkets European Battery Raw Materials Conference 2026
The Fastmarkets European Battery Raw Materials Conference 2026 takes place in Budapest for the first time, from 15–17 September 2026. Over three days it brings together participants from across the global battery value chain: miners, refiners and processors, cathode and cell manufacturers, automotive OEMs, energy storage operators, recyclers, traders, policymakers, investors and technology providers.
VIP delegates will have the chance to join an exclusive site visit to CATL’s Debrecen Gigafactory — access to a battery manufacturing project of this scale is seldom granted, making it one of the most anticipated additions to the 2026 programme.
The agenda addresses the market shifts, technology developments and regulatory changes affecting supply, processing and recycling. Central topics include the market impacts of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) adoption, demand for lithium and other critical minerals, gigafactory expansion, recycling and circularity, OEM procurement strategies, energy storage growth, and recent EU measures encouraging local recycling and processing — including battery passports and black mass controls.
Sessions combine pricing and market data, policy briefings and technical panels aimed at informing commercial and operational decisions, alongside high-level networking with senior decision-makers.
