CIC energiGUNE, the Basque research center of reference in electrochemical energy storage, thermal energy storage and conversion and hydrogen technologies, will bring together in Vitoria-Gasteiz more than 150 international experts in supercapacitors on the occasion of the 8th edition of ISEECap (International Symposium on Advanced Electrochemical Capacitors). This prestigious professional event, considered as one of the reference meetings in the field of supercapacitors worldwide, will be held between July 8 and 12 at the Europa Conference Center.
"Vitoria-Gasteiz is going to become during that week the center of supercapacitor technology, which is increasingly emerging as a real alternative to traditional batteries in those applications that require high power or fast charges, such as renewables, grid stability, or public transport," said Jon Ajuria, Chairman of the Symposium and Leader of the research line of metal ion capacitors in CIC energiGUNE. "One of the highlights of the congress is that we will be able to bring together researchers, industry representatives and also students in the same place, which guarantees a highly inspiring framework for development," he said.
In this sense, ISEECap 2024 -in addition to the usual program made up of plenary sessions, keynote lectures and presentations- will host as a novelty with respect to previous editions "an industrial session in memory of Dr. John Miller, which will culminate with a round table where the most relevant agents will give their vision of the real challenges faced by this technology when it comes to conquering the market," said Ajuria.
This industrial session includes the participation of a wide spectrum of business models, from startups to large industrial conglomerates, such as Nanomate from Phi4tech, E-Lyte Innovations GmbH, UP Catalyst, Delfort, BCARE -spinoff of CIC energiGUNE that will present its collaboration with Talgo- or YUNASKO. With the presence of these companies, ISEECap 2024 guarantees the participation of the entire capacitor value chain and offers access to the innovation ecosystem in one place.
