“There are so many ways of creating a positive impact in the region. This year, we have mainly supported excursions and ‘hands-on’ projects as part of the ‘Brücken Bauen 365’ project,“ said Christin Freund, Expert for Corporate Citizenship at PowerCo. 🤝    ‘Brücken Bauen 365’ is a joint initiative by the community foundations of Braunschweig and Salzgitter. Its goal is to build ‘bridges’ between local businesses and social institutions in need of extra hands and help. We joined this fantastic initiative for the first time and our different teams supported five great projects:      ➡️ Nursing home: group trip to the zoo  AWO-Bezirksverband Braunschweig e.V. ➡️ Altstadtschule Salzgitter: on-site repair work   ➡️ ‘Rudis Welt‘ kindergarten: support for a trip to an indoor playground Lebenshilfe Salzgitter ➡️ Salzgitter hospice: renovation of a gazebo   ➡️ St. Elisabeth Family Center of Caritasverband Salzgitter e.V..: hands-on activities (building raised beds, painting)      Tackling new challenges together beyond the usual workday strengthens team spirit while making a positive impact in our communities. #teambuilding #socialproject #powerco Bürgerstiftung Braunschweig

Valencia Digital Summit Recap: Luna Sanchez on the Future of Battery Tech   At the Valencia Digital Summit, Silvia-Luna Yzaguirre, Director Battery Cell Development at PowerCo, delivered powerful insights into the fast-evolving world of battery technology. 🔋 She highlighted how Spain and Valencia are positioning themselves as key players in the global battery industry, leveraging their skilled workforce and energy resources to attract thriving supplier ecosystems.   Here are the key topics that were discussed:   🔄 The battery lifecycle, from recycling and second-life applications to sustainability 🌐 Tackling the global supply chain and addressing the balance between market needs and environmental responsibility ⚖️ Navigating the challenges of regulations - with different uses and chemistries, can one regulation fit all? 💡 The importance of investment in R&D and innovation, and the hurdles the industry faces today   Luna also provided insights into PowerCo’s gigafactories, the standard factory concept, and vertical integration. She emphasized the importance of flexibility in chemistries and the unified cell concept, a cornerstone of PowerCo's strategy.   As Luna said, "In battery technology, development and production are no longer visions of the future but present-day realities, with applications extending beyond electromobility into healthcare and other consumer sectors. Spain and Valencia are at the forefront of this industrial transformation, capitalizing on their workforce and resources to build a sustainable battery ecosystem."   Valencia and Spain’s leadership in this transformation is undeniable, setting the stage for the future of the battery industry.

There is a game-changing technology in sustainable battery production. 🔍  In today’s “Battery ABC” we are exploring what it is, by featuring the letter D for Dry Coating.      Instead of using energy-heavy wet coating methods, raw materials are rolled directly onto foils as powder. Check out the video to learn more about the benefits of this new process. ⚡️      In the upcoming episode we'll feature the letter R. Any guesses on what we’ll cover?      #BatteryABC #PowerCo #BatteryTechnology
