Advancing ASEAN\u2019s clean energy transition through innovation and collaboration<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

September 1,2025 , Philippines: <\/strong>The 3rd ASEAN Battery Technology Conference (ABTC) successfully concluded on 29 August 2025. Set within the eco-conscious surroundings of Phuket, the conference underscored ASEAN\u2019s commitment to innovation and sustainability. The three-day event was organized by the Thailand Energy Storage Technology Association (TESTA) in collaboration with five leading battery and EV organizations across ASEAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s conference was attended by more than 340 participants, including Mr. Samawit Supanpai, Deputy Governor of Phuket. It also welcomed a distinguished group of speakers, such as Nobel Laureate Prof. Stanley Whittingham, and Prof. Shirley Meng (University of Chicago \/ Argonne), along with leading institutions NCSTT (Indonesia), NanoMalaysia, and Singapore Battery Consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Themed around safety, financing, and future growth, the panel discussion sessions from industry leaders and researchers covered latest scientific breakthroughs, strategies to build resilient battery supply chains, and investment in next-generation battery solutions to accelerate ASEAN\u2019s clean energy transition. The exhibitions and networking activities also provided a platform for showcasing innovations and fostering new collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Pimpa Limthongkul, Co-founder and president of the Thailand Energy Storage Technology Association, TESTA<\/strong>, said, \u201cThis year\u2019s conference has demonstrated that ASEAN is ready to lead the charge in building a sustainable battery ecosystem. With the collective will of industry, research, and government partners, we are no longer just adopters of technology, we are shaping its future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sing Yang Chiam, Technical Director, Singapore Battery Consortium, ASEAN Battery Safety Network (ABSN) <\/strong>said,<\/strong> <\/strong>\u201cSafety remains at the heart of innovation. As we scale up deployment, we must ensure that performance goes hand in hand with protection. The discussions here show how ASEAN can demonstrate leadership in cross border collaborations for battery safety related initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Rezal Khairi Bin Ahmad, CEO at NanoMalaysia Berhad (NMB), <\/strong>said, \u201cCollaboration across borders is the real driver of progress. From circular supply chains to financing frameworks, ABTC 2025 has set an example that ASEAN\u2019s strength lies in working together to unlock opportunities in the global battery economy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
