OFweek 2025 New Energy Industry Collaborative Development Conference At the beginning of 2025, the lithium battery and ESS industries entered a deep-water zone. On one hand, the homogenization of product technology became increasingly prominent; on the other hand, diversified application scenarios imposed higher demands on products, forcing companies to intensify innovation efforts. Facing challenges head-on and striving for new peaks is the core spirit of Chinese enterprises in creating new opportunities amidst new challenges. At this critical juncture, leveraging synergistic effects and integrated development is the inevitable path for the lithium battery and ESS industries to advance further. Against this backdrop, on March 19-20, 2025, OFweek, OFweek·Lithium Battery, and OFweek·ESS will jointly host the "OFweek 2025 New Energy Industry Collaborative Development Conference" at the Shenzhen Denghui International Hotel, inviting representatives from the battery industry chain, ESS industry chain, and experts and scholars to gather and discuss the challenges and opportunities of global new energy industry collaborative development.
