About the Event

Following the success of our previous edition, we are thrilled to announce the 4th Gigafactory Summit 2026, taking place on 24–25 February in Berlin.

This leading industry event brings together senior executives, technical experts, and key decision-makers for two days of high-level networking and knowledge exchange. Participants will benefit from an agenda filled with practical case studies, expert presentations, and panel discussions tackling critical challenges in gigafactory design and construction.

As Europe accelerates its transition toward sustainable mobility and clean energy, the summit serves as a collaborative platform across the gigafactory ecosystem. This year’s program focuses on the latest trends and opportunities in facility design, construction, operations, and sustainability.

Key sessions will cover topics such as modular facility design, waste management and on-site recycling, energy resilience, predictive analytics, and the use of digital tools to boost efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Additional sessions will explore safety-driven design, sustainable business models, and the growing role of automation and digital twins in operational excellence.

Join us at the 4th Gigafactory Summit 2026 to gain actionable insights, learn from real-world case studies, and connect with the leaders shaping the future of Europe’s gigafactory infrastructure.

  • Modular utility corridors and flexible zones that minimize rebuild costs
  • Managing coating and formation demands under evolving energy and process profiles
  • Balancing R&D evolution with infrastructure stability across equipment generations
  • Addressing safety risks during utility transitions and high-energy processes

Building Infrastructure That Delivers on Black Mass Recovery and Sustainability Targets

  • Designing gigafactories to handle internal scrap, rejects, and material recapture
  • Real-time tracking systems for scrap and material recovery rates
  • Locating, segregating, separating, and neutralization zones with ATEX compliance
  • Embedding on-site recycling strategies to support Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions reductions
  • Preparing for EU Battery Regulation quotas on recycled content by 2031

Empowering Cleantech through Energy Management for Scale and Flexibility

  • Planning for grid instability and infrastructure delays in high-demand regions
  • Using on-site BESS and hybrid systems to stabilize peak loads and enable ramp-up
  • Leveraging PPAs and local renewables to achieve net-zero for Cleantech Autonomy
  • Optimizing energy use to reduce emissions and minimize operational costs
