For a Greener Tomorrow

The ASEAN Battery Technology Conference (ABTC) is back for its third edition, bringing together leaders in energy storage and battery technology. This year’s event will take place in Phuket, Thailand at SAii Laguna Phuket from August 27 to 29, 2025. Experts will meet to address challenges, share opportunities, and shape a future where energy is greener, safer, and more innovative.

A United ASEAN for Battery Safety

The conference is organized by the Thailand Energy Storage Technology Association (TESTA) along with five other key battery and electric vehicle organizations in ASEAN. A major highlight will be the launch of the ASEAN Battery Safety Network (ABSN), supported by the ASEAN Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation and all member states. This network will provide a platform for sharing knowledge, supporting safe technology deployments, and strengthening ASEAN’s presence in the global battery value chain.

Voices from Industry Leaders

Dr. Pimpa Limthongkul, Co-founder and president of TESTA said, “ABTC 2025 marks a defining moment for ASEAN as we accelerate regional collaboration to drive innovation, safety, and sustainability in next-generation battery technologies. It reflects Thailand’s intention in building a resilient energy storage economy and ASEAN’s collective ambition to power clean mobility and robust energy systems. We are especially honoured to welcome global pioneers such as Professor Stanley Whittingham, Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, and Professor Shirley Meng whose presence signals the global significance of ABTC and reinforces our region’s role in shaping the future of energy.”

Dr. Sing Yang Chiam, Technical Director, Singapore Battery Consortium, ASEAN Battery Safety Network said, “We are grateful for the strong support from ASEAN leaders in establishing the ASEAN Battery Safety Network, a critical first step in our collective journey to address battery safety challenges across the region. ABSN was established to drive cross-border collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the advancement of battery safety science, laying the foundation for safer deployment and use of battery technologies while reinforcing ASEAN’s position in the global battery value chain. We are now assessing each member state’s current landscape, priorities, and challenges as we chart a unified work plan and strategic roadmap for the years ahead.”

Dr. Rezal Khairi Bin Ahmad, CEO at NanoMalaysia Berhad said, “NMB is proud to have witnessed the impressive growth of ABTC as a regional catalyst for innovation and collaboration in battery and electric mobility technologies. We are confident that ABTC 2026 in Penang, Malaysia, will build on this momentum by bringing together industry leaders across the comprehensive battery and EV value chain. The event will span the entire supply and value chain of these industries. We look forward to welcoming you there next year.”

Expert Panels and Global Guests

The event will welcome Professor M. Stanley Whittingham, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2019), along with other pioneers in the field. Attendees will join seven panel discussions on topics such as battery policy, the circular economy, large-scale energy storage, battery swapping, financing, and more. The conference will feature experts from both public and private sectors.

ASEAN Collaboration in Focus

Speakers will include representatives from Indonesia’s National Center for Sustainable Transportation Technology and National Battery Research Institute, NanoMalaysia, the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines, the Singapore Battery Consortium, and the Thailand Energy Storage Technology Association.
