The BATMASS project aims to implement the first EU Circular Battery Valley. It is a European project to research and innovate new models of EU interregional collaboration and offers a portfolio of interregional investments in TRL6+ innovations in circular technologies and processes for battery materials.
BATMASS will mobilize a fully comprehensive cross-regional ecosystem around 4 demonstrators (or “demonstration beacons”) aimed at scaling up, commercializing and deploying innovative green technologies. It harnesses the innovation power of RTOs and SMEs to accelerate market entry and international replication in EU regions and beyond.
Technology transfers between less developed, transition and developed regions are expected to structure this emerging value chain and anchor it in regional innovation ecosystems. The project is co-funded by the European Union’s Interregional Innovation Investment (I3) program.
