SUMMARY:🔋Boston Strategies to Speak at Volta Foundation Battery Forum 
DESCRIPTION:Boston Strategies International is pleased to share that our CEO\, David Jacoby\, will be speaking at the upcoming Volta Foundation Battery Forum on May 13th at 8:00 AM PT (11am ET).  \nIn this session\, David will address a critical and timely question facing the energy and mobility sectors:  \n⚡Can Local Content Battery Chains Survive the Shakeout?  \nOver the past several years\, the global battery industry has undergone a rapid transformation. Governments across North America and Europe have accelerated efforts to localize battery supply chains\, driven by policy initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, the EU Battery Regulation\, and broader geopolitical considerations.  \nAt the same time\, market dynamics are introducing significant challenges:  \n\nGlobal battery demand is projected to exceed 3 TWh by 2030\, yet announced capacity already surpasses near-term demand \n\n\nGigafactory capital costs remain high\, typically $80–120M per GWh\, intensifying pressure on returns \n\n\nTariffs and localization incentives are reshaping cost structures\, often increasing input costs by 10–30% depending on sourcing strategies \n\n\nEstablished players in Asia continue to dominate\, controlling approximately 70–80% of global cell manufacturing capacity and upstream processing \n\nThis environment creates a fundamental tension:\nPolicy is accelerating localization\, while market forces are driving consolidation.  \n📊Session Overview:  \nDavid will explore:  \n\nThe path to cost competitiveness for regional battery ecosystems in North America and Europe \n\n\nThe real impact of tariffs and trade policy on manufacturing decisions \n\n\nWhat “survival” looks like in an environment of oversupply and margin compression \n\n\nStrategic considerations for OEMs\, suppliers\, and investors navigating the evolving landscape \n\nAbout the Volta Foundation Battery Forum  \nThe Volta Foundation has established itself as a leading platform for meaningful industry dialogue\, hosting 60+ forums and 350+ speakers since 2019. Participants include leaders from organizations such as Tesla\, CATL\, LG Energy Solution\, Panasonic\, and the U.S. Department of Energy.  \nRegister for free at: https://volta.foundation/battery-forum/battery-forum-may-2026/   \nWe invite industry peers\, partners\, and stakeholders across EVs\, battery manufacturing\, and supply chain strategy to join this important discussion.  \nFor more information or to connect with David ahead of the event\, please reach out to our team.  \n#Batteries #EVs #SupplyChain #EnergyTransition #Manufacturing #BatteryIndustry  \n

SUMMARY:Boston Strategies will be presenting at the AABC Europe 2026 (Advanced Automotive Battery Conference) 
DESCRIPTION:AABC Europe 2026 (Advanced Automotive Battery Conference) 📍 Mainz\, Germany | May 18-23\, 2026  \nBoston Strategies International is pleased to announce that David Jacoby will be a podium presenter at AABC Europe 2026 (Advanced Automotive Battery Conference) in Mainz\, Germany\, as part of the Global Battery Raw Materials program.  \nAABC Europe is a premier global forum bringing together battery technologists\, automotive OEMs\, and key suppliers to assess technology breakthroughs\, development trends\, and market outlooks shaping the next generation of electric vehicle batteries.  \nPresentation Title: How Local Value Chain Initiatives Will Reshape Battery Materials Markets  \nWhat the session covers:   \nAs global industrial policy accelerates\, many countries are actively working to reduce dependence on foreign sources of critical minerals by re-shoring and localizing battery value chains.  This presentation will examine how: tariff negotiations\, and strategic trade realignments will impact the mining\, processing\, and assembly of batteries and other products dependent on:  \n🔹 Cobalt\n🔹 Nickel\n🔹 Graphite\n🔹 Lithium\n🔹 Rare earths  \nThe talk provides a structured view across three strategic scenarios: Growth\, Comparative advantage and Technology standardisation  \nThese scenarios highlight how policy-led supply chain restructuring can reshape market pricing\, investment decisions\, and long-term competitiveness across battery materials markets.  \nBoston Strategies International looks forward to engaging with OEMs\, investors\, and battery materials stakeholders at AABC Europe 2026.  \n📩 For inquiries\, discussions\, or meeting requests\, please contact Boston Strategies International.
