October 2025 is shaping up to be the perfect window of opportunity for international renewable energy professionals looking to dive deep into China’s booming battery energy storage market. Two world-class events — the SNEC ES+ 2025 Exhibition and the Solarplaza Battery Tour China — are taking place back-to-back, offering a unique chance to combine strategic networking, in-depth market intelligence, and firsthand supply chain exploration into one compact, high-impact trip.
Start in Shanghai: The Global Stage for Energy Storage Innovation
From 10 to 12 October, the SNEC International Energy Storage Technology, Equipment and Application Conference & Exhibition (SNEC ES+) will bring together the brightest minds and most innovative companies in energy storage. Hosted in Shanghai, this landmark exhibition serves as the global meeting point for manufacturers, developers, integrators, and investors focused on stationary battery applications and technologies.
Attending SNEC ES+ offers unmatched exposure to:
- Cutting-edge battery technologies and components
- China's top energy storage manufacturers and innovators
- Global product launches and strategic industry announcements
- Thousands of fellow professionals exploring partnerships and solutions
With over 500 exhibitors and a dynamic conference agenda, the event provides a broad yet deep dive into the current and future landscape of energy storage — particularly in China, the world’s largest and fastest-growing market for battery manufacturing and deployment.
Then Go Behind the Scenes: A Curated Tour of China’s ESS Supply Chain
Directly following the exhibition, from 13 to 17 October, Solarplaza will host the “Battery Tour China”, a meticulously curated trade mission that moves beyond the expo floor and into the heart of China’s battery ecosystem.
This exclusive tour will take participants across key industrial hubs to:
- Visit major battery and energy storage component manufacturing facilities
- Engage in private meetings and discussions with Chinese suppliers and innovators
- Explore how global supply chains are evolving and how international firms can best navigate sourcing, partnerships, and quality control
The tour is designed for decision-makers, developers, investors, and procurement professionals who want to go deeper than what’s visible at a trade show, offering rare, firsthand insight into the inner workings of China’s energy storage value chain.
Why It Makes Sense to Combine Both
These two events complement each other perfectly. While SNEC ES+ provides the big-picture trends and high-level networking, the Battery Tour offers strategic, ground-level insights and exclusive access that you simply cannot get from a trade show booth.
By aligning your travel to attend both:
- You save significantly on logistics and planning
- You get to maximize your ROI on international travel
- You return with a holistic understanding of both market trends and real-world production and procurement practices
- You position yourself at the forefront of the global battery energy storage conversation
Make the Most of Your Trip to China
With China remaining a powerhouse in global energy storage innovation and production, this October represents a not-to-be-missed opportunity for international professionals to strengthen their market intelligence, sourcing strategies, and network.
Join us for this high-value double-header: immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of SNEC ES+ in Shanghai, and then hit the road with Solarplaza for an unparalleled look behind the curtain of China’s energy storage industry.
