Home - The International Flow Battery Forum

See you in Vienna on 24-26 June for IFBF 2025!

The International Flow Battery Forum (IFBF®) is the leading event for the flow battery community. The IFBF promotes the most recent developments in the science, technology and commercialisation of flow batteries. Our conferences cover a broad range of interests in the research and commercial aspects of flow batteries. Since 2010 the IFBF has held eleven in-person conferences attracting more than 200 attendees each year.

In June 2024 the IFBF held its thirteenth in-person conference in Scotland, supported by Invinity Energy Systems and Flow Batteries Europe. Over three days the conference featured talks, panel sessions, open discussions, networking breaks, a poster session, conference dinner and a local site visit. We discussed the latest innovations, policy updates and market challenges for the development of the flow battery sector. Over 300 business leaders, policymakers, developers, and researchers shared information and forecasts about the thriving world of energy storage and the important role of flow batteries.

The next edition of the International Flow Battery Forum will take place from 24 to 26 June in Vienna, Austria, at the Intercontinental Hotel, supported by CellCube and Flow Batteries Europe! Please contact us for information on sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities.

Don’t just take our word for it

One session, on operational projects and the latest research, stood out. Five of the six presenters were women and several of them PhD students, which tells a possible story of openness and academic interest in an industry with a future.

Thank you for putting on such a great conference. For a week, it truly becomes the global center of our corner of the energy storage market. I met with people that would have taken me months if I were to travel around.

Larry Zulch, CEO Invinity Energy Systems, IFBF 2023

IFBF events are a unique opportunity to interact with EVERYONE involved in flow batteries: users, manufacturers, suppliers of materials, and the research community are all there. If you are interested in flow batteries, an IFBF event is like attending 5 other conferences at once.

Bret Adams, Kainos Consulting, IFBF 2022

First time attendee. Really enjoyed the community. Good mixture of science, companies, suppliers etc. for a broad band of topics. Looking forward to next year.”
