Recently, the domestic battery industry has been facing a range of complex challenges, including a slowdown in electric vehicle demand, raw material price volatility, global supply chain restructuring, and the rapid proliferation of Chinese lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

Industry experts from Samil PwC with expertise in trade and industry, as well as government officials, will participate as speakers to provide insights from various perspectives.

The seminar will consist of a total of five presentations. First, Kim Seungcheol, Senior Research Fellow at Samil PwC Management Research Institute, will deliver a lecture on "Global EV and ESS Market Outlook."
