It is reported that the 2023 World Power Battery Conference is jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Sichuan Provincial People's Government. The Yibin Municipal People's Government, Sichuan Department of Economy and Information Technology, Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Sichuan Provincial Economic Cooperation Bureau, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology It is co-organized by the Equipment Industry Development Center.

At the meeting, Liu Quansheng, deputy secretary-general of the Sichuan Provincial People's Government, introduced that the theme of this year's World Power Battery Conference is "Green New Power·New Momentum for the World". Based on the successful preparation experience of the previous conference, it will draw lessons from similar conferences at home and abroad to innovate. Methods and methods are used to inject new elements and new impetus into the conference.

According to him, this year’s conference has four major improvements:

First, the international elements have been improved. This year's conference has a special guest country, Hungary, the world's leading power battery producer, and holds special events. The conference will release a consensus on the "global integrated development" of power batteries, and invite international organizations such as the European Battery Alliance, LG New Energy , and Panasonic, world-renowned companies, dozens of embassies and consulates in China, and many multinational companies to participate in the conference and exhibition, conveying the message Voices of international cooperation to discuss the future of industrial development.

Second, the content format has been improved. Compared with last year, this year's conference integrates "conferences, exhibitions, events, dialogues, and experiences", focusing on hot topics such as open sharing, green and low carbon, innovation-driven, and industrial systems, and holds an opening conference, main forum, and 6 theme forums. , 2 special seminars, 2 special activities, Global Entrepreneurs Night and other exciting activities, invite top experts and representatives of leading companies to exchange and discuss, bringing new brainstorming.

The concurrent exhibition of the conference will set up 8 major exhibition areas including "Green Travel" and "Smart Ecology" and 2 special exhibition areas such as "E-Mobile Legend" Time Tunnel and "Green Kinetic Energy" Science Park, displaying important achievements in cutting-edge new energy vehicles and power battery technology. .

Fourth, demonstration applications have been improved. The Ministry of Transport will organize 13 provinces (cities) along the Yangtze River to launch the "Electrified Yangtze River" initiative at the conference, hold a symposium on promoting the high-quality development of Yangtze River shipping, respond to the "dual carbon" strategy, and promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. At the same time, the construction of the national new energy vehicle battery swapping model (heavy truck) featured application city and "Electric Yibin" has achieved remarkable results, and the new electrification model will also be promoted and applied at the conference.

At present, preparations for the Power Battery Conference are progressing in an orderly manner. There are now more than 700 guests who have confirmed their intention to attend, including important guests such as well-known academicians and experts, industry leaders, and more than 320 companies such as CATL, BYD, and Mercedes-Benz have confirmed their participation in the exhibition. Guests from domestic and foreign companies such as power battery industry chain companies and new energy vehicle industry chain companies accounted for 70%.

As the venue for this conference, Yibin City is the core area of ​​Sichuan's trillion-level power battery industry. According to Liao Wenbin, deputy secretary of the Yibin Municipal Party Committee and mayor, Yibin has insisted on promoting industrial agglomeration through conference and exhibition gatherings in recent years. With the help of the World Battery Conference, 48 power battery and new energy vehicle supporting projects with a total investment of 96.2 billion yuan have been signed and have been completed and put into production. 16. The city's power battery industry is showing a good trend of vigorous development. It is expected that the output value will exceed 120 billion yuan this year, providing important support for Sichuan Province to build a trillion-level power battery industry cluster.

From a province-wide perspective, Sichuan Province has now established a power battery industry development pattern led by Yibin and coordinated development by Chengdu, Suining, Deyang, Meishan, Ganzi, Aba, etc., and has achieved a series of achievements. It is reported that in terms of industrial capacity, Sichuan Province's power battery output in 2022 will be 83GWh, accounting for about one-sixth of the country's total output; in terms of enterprise cultivation, Sichuan has now gathered more than 200 upstream and downstream enterprises in the entire industry chain, including power batteries There are three companies in the top ten in the world and five companies in the top ten in the country in terms of installed capacity.
