International Flow Battery Forum | IFBF 2027 Barcelona

The International Flow Battery Forum (IFBF®) is the annual event promoting the most recent developments in the commercialisation and technological advancements of flow batteries – a sustainable and safe long-duration energy storage technology, ideal for renewable energy storage.

Covering a broad range of interests in the industrial and research aspects of flow batteries, the conference brings together users, manufacturers, suppliers, policymakers, academics, and students from across the globe, to raise the profile of flow batteries within the energy storage sector.

Over three days, the International Flow Battery Forum highlights recent global developments in flow battery technology, including large-scale installations, AI and data centre applications, transport uses, and advances in research and manufacturing.

The next edition of the IFBF will take place on 22-24 June 2027 in Barcelona, Spain. More information coming soon!

The quality of the presentations, networking opportunities, and panel discussions exceeded my expectations, providing valuable insights and practical knowledge that I can apply immediately. I left the IFBF with new connections, fresh ideas, and a stronger perspective on future opportunities.

Flow batteries’ greater tolerance of intense power swings makes them an attractive alternative to lithium-ion batteries for the data center market. Flow batteries could reduce the need for energy-intensive, workload-smoothing strategies and help stabilize data center power demand.
