ees Europe: Battery Storage – Powerbanks for the Energy Transition
4.6.2024 15:49:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Battery storage is booming. According to a study by Frontier Economics, the volume of grid-connected storage in Germany alone could increase to 60 gigawatts (GW) or 271 gigawatt-hours (GWh) by 2050. This is forty times the current storage capacity. Similar dynamics in cost reduction and installation speed are expected as seen with photovoltaics (PV) in recent years. Soon, battery storage will fundamentally change energy supply. The latest technologies, trends, and market developments will be showcased at ees Europe, Europe’s largest and most international exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems. It will take place from June 19 to 21 as part of The smarter E Europe, Europe’s largest alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry, in Munich. Around 3,000 exhibitors and over 115,000 visitors from around the world are expected in 19 exhibition halls and an outdoor area.

The growth of grid-connected storage brings enormous advantages to the energy system and offers economic benefits. The expansion of large-scale storage can significantly reduce the need for new gas power plant investments in Germany by up to 9 GW. This expansion also contributes significantly to reducing CO2 emissions. The key point: this growth is purely market-driven and does not rely on government subsidies.
Short-term storage enables system transformation
Battery storage increasingly assumes critical roles in ensuring a reliable power supply and stabilizing power grids. Large battery storage systems ensure voltage control, provide immediate reserve capacity, and facilitate black start capability, playing a part in congestion management. They can balance fluctuations in the grid within seconds and store energy for hours or days. The black start capability of storage systems is crucial in emergencies.
Moreover, storage systems can mitigate the effects of delayed grid expansion. They help optimize the utilization of the limited grid infrastructure, allowing more facilities to be connected. This enables more capacity and additional PV installations despite limited grid connection capacity. Another benefit: battery storage increases the market value of renewable energy. Green electricity can be stored when market prices are low and fed into the grid when demand is high and electricity prices are correspondingly high.
International storage revolution
Worldwide, exponential growth in battery storage is evident. Experts predict that global production capacity will rise to 500 GWh per year by 2025. In markets such as Australia, the USA, and India, tenders for new wind or solar capacities have been coupled with storage for years. In Germany, the speed of expansion and the installed storage capacity are still modest. However, this year, battery storage systems in Germany will surpass pumped storage systems in installed capacity for the first time.
Setting the right framework
To make stationary storage of all sizes attractive, a favorable market environment and simple regulations are needed. Market-driven expansion must continue to be enabled and improved. Modern framework conditions for battery storage should be set through reforms in grid fees, flexible electricity tariffs, or the introduction of contracts for difference.
ees Europe
Every year, ees Europe, Europe’s largest and most international exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems, provides a networking opportunity for the industry’s key players – all under the motto “Innovating Energy Storage”. It focuses on the latest technologies, trends and market developments. ees Europe will take place from June 19–21, 2024 as part of The smarter E Europe at Messe München.

Most connected devices share the same weak spot: provisioning and testing on the production line. In-Factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP) addresses this challenge by enabling conne
U.S. FDA Grants Priority Review to BeOne Medicines’ BRUKINSA Combination in First-Line Mantle Cell Lymphoma4.11.2026 16:13:00 EET | Press release
BeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted and granted Priority Review to the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for BRUKINSA® (zanubrutinib) in combination with rituximab for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The application is supported by data from the pivotal Phase 3 MANGROVE study, in which this chemotherapy-free regimen significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death compared with standard chemoimmunotherapy.

Zenitar Announces Initiation of International Randomized Study of Flonoltinib Maleate in Patients with Myelofibrosis and Related American Society of Hematology 2026 Meeting Presentations4.11.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release
Chengdu Zenitar Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. (Zenitar) is developing flonoltinib maleate (FM), a first-in-class oral JAK2/FLT3/CDK6 inhibitor for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including myelofibrosis (MF) and polycythemia vera (PV). Zenitar launched randomized Phase 2 FM-MF-02 (NCT07750574) in the US, Canada and Brazil to select Phase 3 dose for JAKi-naïve and refractory MF. Randomized FMF-02 (NCT06457425) met its week-24 endpoints: superior SVR35 and TSS50 with FM 50/100mg versus ruxolitinib; previous data presented orally at ASH24 (#486) and ASH25 (#908). ASH 2026 presence covers FMF-02 long-term follow-up (oral presentation, #411, December 12, 4:30pm) and refractory PV Phase 2 data (poster, #3765, December 13, 6pm), both in Session 634. “Over the 15 years since the initial FDA approval of Ruxolitinib, JAKi have markedly improved the prognosis of many patients with MF.
