Professor Eicke R. Weber, President of the German Energy Storage Association (BVES), Speaker for the Fraunhofer Energy Alliance and Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, will again act as Chairman of the Conference Program Committee.

Leaders and innovators from across industries, government and research are invited to Energy Storage 2014 to share ideas and build the global energy storage market. The program will include presentations from industry leaders and policy makers as well as successful energy storage case studies featuring practical lessons and key success factors. On-site workshops will deliver cutting edge insights into energy storage markets and applications. The exposition will provide an ideal opportunity to educate a broad stakeholder group about new energy storage developments, innovative products and business models - while networking with targeted decision-makers across many applications of energy storage.

Energy Storage Europe 2014 builds on a successful track record: Energy Storage 2012 and 2013. With more than 530 participants and 45 exhibitors from 33 countries, Energy Storage 2013 was widely recognized as one of the most important meetings in the European energy storage industry. Many key decision-makers, including Germany's Federal Minister of the Environment, Peter Altmaier, attended.

The Düsseldorf Energy Storage Conference and Expo concept has been launched in several other key energy storage markets globally, with local partners, under Messe Dusseldorf's World of Energy Storage program. The only global network for energy storage deal making, education and networking. The first staging of Energy Storage North America (ESNA) in September 2013 at the San Jose Convention Center in California ended very successfully. A total of 750 attendees took part and 43 exhibitors demonstrated innovative technologies and applications (www.esnaexpo.com). Energy Storage India (ESI) will premiere from December 4 - 6, 2013 in Mumbai (www.esiexpo.in) and Energy Storage China (ESC) is scheduled for June 23 - 24, 2014 in Beijing.
