About ABTC

      The ASEAN Battery Technology Conference (ABTC) has become the premier platform for advancing the battery industry across ASEAN. First launched in 2023 in Bali, Indonesia, as the ASEAN Battery and Electric Vehicle Technology Conference (ABEVTC), it was rebranded as ABTC to emphasize its comprehensive focus on batteries. The idea originated from Hioki E.E. Corporation, which brought together regional associations to create this collaborative initiative. Hioki has proudly supported the first two events and continues as a key partner in the third year.

      With events held in Bali in 2023, Singapore in 2024, and the upcoming edition in Phuket, Thailand, in 2025, ABTC has evolved into more than just a conference-it’s a platform for collaboration, relationship building, and fostering a vibrant battery community in ASEAN. A landmark moment in 2023 saw regional associations signing an MOU to establish an ASEAN battery network, strengthening partnerships across the region.

      ABTC’s mission is to connect stakeholders, inspire innovation, and explore critical topics such as advanced battery materials, cell-to-pack technologies, recycling strategies, and battery safety standards. Together, we are shaping a sustainable and interconnected future for ASEAN’s battery industry.

Organizers

Thailand Energy Storage Technology Association (TESTA)


TESTA or THAILAND ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION aims to help connect stakeholders, educate public, promote understanding, and nurture technological advancements on energy storage technologies in Thailand. TESTA had been officially registered on January 25, 2021, by5 founding institutes including National Science andTechnology Development Agency (NSTDA), Khon Kaen University (KKU), King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB), and Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT). Over 60 members of the association include energy storage technology enthusiasts from various sectors ranging from academic, research institutes, public sectors, policy makers, and private industries.

Singapore Battery Consortium (SBC)


Singapore Battery Consortium (SBC) aims to foster strategic R&D partnerships amongst public research performers and industry players in the development and advancement of battery technologies. SBC aims to develop and catalyze the local ecosystem in battery related technologies through this platform. It is hosted at A*STAR and supported by the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF). Over the past decade, commercial interest in battery development has been on the rise, keeping pace with demand for better battery performance and different performance characteristics for increasingly complex mobility and portable devices. To meet this demand, the Singapore Battery Consortium will bring research outcomes from our laboratories into market by enabling researchers to understand business requirements, while giving companies access to the latest battery research and technologies to augment their product development efforts.

NanoMalaysia


NanoMalaysia Berhad was incorporated in 2011 as acompany limited by guarantee (CLBG) under the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) to act as a business entity entrusted with nanotechnology commercialization activities. Some of its roles include commercialization of nanotechnology research and development, industrialization of nanotechnology, facilitation of investments in nanotechnology and human capital development in nanotechnology.

National Battery Research Institute (NBRI)


The National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) was legally established on 17th December 2020 as The Center ofExcellence Innovation of Battery and Renewable EnergyFoundation, with Prof.Dr. Evvy Kartini as a Founder andProf Alan J. Drew as Co-Founder. NBRI is Indonesia’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage science and technology, supporting research, training, and education. NBRI aims to contribute to the overall research capacity and training environment in Indonesia in Battery Research. NBRI is a platform that brings together scientists, academicians, industry partners, the government and all stakeholders that focus on battery technology. The main goal of NBRI is to encourage and support a battery manufacturing industry using locally resources, which will enable Indonesia to be independent in energy. The NBRI was supported by the UKGovernment’s Global Challenge Research Fund (GCRF), aspart of the Queen Mary University of London QR allocation.

Electric vehicle Association of Philippines (eVAP)


eVAP envisions a nation wherein the use of electric vehicles is highly promoted, encouraged and supported by its government and the society in order to develop a transportation landscape that is one with the environment ecologically and economically. eVAP’s mission is to educate the public on environmental awareness, and the economic and ecological benefits of electric vehicles through the conduct of and/or participation in promotional activities.eVAP aims to accelerate the society’s conversion from using gas-powered vehicles to electric vehicles and works with the government in the creation and implementation of legislations that will support and encourage the use of electric vehicles.

National Center For Sustainable Transportation Technology (NCSTT)


The National Center for Sustainable Transportation Technology (NCSTT), or Pusat Pengembangan Teknologi Transportasi Berkelanjutan, is from Indonesia, and is an unique multidisciplinary research center focused on conducting, supporting and encouraging applied engineering and technology for transportation systems inIndonesia. NCSTT has been recognized globally as the research center which aims to foster the national transportation industry in developing national economics and welfare. NCSTT has built network linkages and research collaborations with national transportation stakeholders such as automotive, railway and aircraft industries, as well as research institutions and universities.

Our vision

To advance the battery, EV, and new energy ecosystem from the state to the ASEAN level by fostering collaboration among industries, academia, and policymakers across the region. This initiative aims to connect stakeholders to larger markets, drive technological innovation, and achieve the shared goal of reducing carbon footprints. Through the united efforts of leading regional associations in Southeast Asia, we aspire to create a dynamic and sustainable ecosystem for batteries, EVs, and new energy solutions in ASEAN.

Why Join Us?

The conference will address key topics driving the battery industry forward, including cell-to-pack technology, future battery manufacturing, safety advancements, and ASEAN policies influencing battery development and applications. Attendees will explore next-frontier innovations and opportunities across a range of battery-related sectors. 

Sponsors and participants can look forward to:
