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 at the Battery Show South 2026 in Charlotte\, NC. 
DESCRIPTION:Battery Show South 2026\, Charlotte\, NC.  \nThe President of Boston Strategies International\, David Steven Jacoby\, will be speaking at The Battery Show South 2026 in Charlotte\, North Carolina\, during a pivotal moment for the U.S. battery ecosystem—shaped by evolving industrial policy\, shifting market demand\, and accelerating regional investment across the Battery Belt. The event convenes engineers\, business leaders\, and innovators across the full advanced battery value chain\, with a strong focus on domestic supplier growth and commercialization readiness.  \nDavid’s session will address one of the most urgent strategic questions shaping the battery sector today:  \nTariffs and Battery Manufacturing Competitiveness: What will the state of tariff and global trade dynamics be in 2026–2028 — and how will this affect battery supply chains?  \nRecent major technological and commercial shockwaves have created a lot of noise about where to manufacture and where to source from. As the dust settles\, what assumptions should executives make regarding the direction and magnitude of tariffs\, international production costs\, and lifecycle costs in battery materials and components for the coming years? This session will be extremely useful for C-level executives who are:  \n\nConsidering site relocation or reshoring \nRealigning supply chains due to costs \nReviewing long-term business strategy \nInvolved in mergers\, acquisitions\, licensing\, or other transactions \n\nMore info: https://www.thebatteryshowsouth.com/    \nIf you would like to connect with David during The Battery Show South 2026\, Boston Strategies International welcomes conversations with manufacturers\, suppliers\, developers\, and investors shaping the future of batteries and electrification.
