About the OREBA Conference
Powered by Volt-Age, the OREBA Conference (Olivine-based Research for Energy and Battery Advancement) is a premier international event dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and the real-world application of olivine-based cathode materials—particularly lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄)—to support the global shift toward sustainable energy and electric mobility.
Mission
Our mission is to unite global experts and stakeholders from academia, industry, and the public sector to drive forward the understanding, development, and commercialization of olivine-based battery technologies. As the world rapidly moves toward cleaner energy solutions, OREBA serves as a collaborative platform where knowledge becomes impact.
Objectives

Accelerate Innovation: Showcase the latest advances in olivine-based cathode materials with an emphasis on performance, sustainability, and commercial potential.

Foster Collaboration: Connect researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry leaders to translate scientific breakthroughs into practical solutions.

Promote Sustainability: Explore the critical role of LiFePOâ‚„ in enabling safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible energy storage systems.

Drive Commercial Impact: Discuss challenges and opportunities across the battery supply chain, from materials processing to market integration.
