Welcome

It gives me great pleasure to announce the 20th Asian Battery Conference and Exhibition (20ABC) will be held in Siem Reap, Cambodia, from the 5th – 8th of September 2023.

The anticipation and excitement of returning to a live conference after our first ever virtual 19ABC event is only enhanced by having the 20ABC hosted at the gateway to Angkor Wat, one of the world’s great wonders.   

Change is nothing new for this industry. As we move to a more energy-focused world where batteries will play an ever-increasing role, I am sure we will see this reflected in the presentations and discussions during the conference. We will also hear how the post-Covid period will emphasise energy storage and the challenges ahead, especially against our arch-rival, the Lithium battery. And we should not forget our most important market, the automotive battery, and discuss important aspects such as PSoC and DCA. Notably, the conference will return to its role as a centre for sharing and learning in the battery world, from market details and insights of the latest scientific and technical advancements to the newest equipment designs and breakthroughs.

So it is with the support of the industry and our loyal sponsors, I extend a warm invitation to delegates and their partners to Siem Reap for the 20ABC, which aims to deliver enhanced knowledge and a greater appreciation of our dynamic and growing industry.

Kind regards,
Mark Stevenson
