DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Petr Novak (ETH Zürich)\, Sarbajit Banerjee (PSI 
 - Paul Scherrer Institut)\, Sigita Trabesinger\n\nBeLi26 arrives at a pivo
 tal moment. The energy transition is essential for addressing climate chan
 ge and revitalizing the global economy through circular and sustainable pr
 actices. However\, scaling clean energy technologies depends on access to 
 critical materials—many of which face supply chain challenges due to low
  natural abundance\, declining mining in the Global North\, geopolitical t
 ensions\, and volatile pricing. These factors have slowed progress at a cr
 ucial stage.\nThe future of energy storage hinges on securing diverse mate
 rials and technologies. We now have a unique opportunity to accelerate inn
 ovation in post-lithium-ion storage—advancing design\, discovery\, and m
 anufacturing with urgency and scale.\nBuilding on past success\, BeLi26 wi
 ll reunite the global community driving beyond-Li-ion energy storage. It w
 ill foster connections across science\, technology\, manufacturing\, polic
 y\, and finance\, while educating the next generation of battery innovator
 s.\nOur vision is for BeLi26 to become the premier global event for beyond
 -Li-ion energy storage—driving visibility\, collaboration\, and impact. 
 We aim to achieve this through an inclusive format\, broad ecosystem engag
 ement\, support for emerging talent\, and a strategically chosen venue wit
 h global accessibility. Environmental responsibility\, diversity\, and acc
 essibility will be central to the conference experience.\nHost Organizatio
