To compete, companies across the battery value chain must tackle multiple challenges that can impede growth, including shortages of raw materials, manufacturing equipment, and skilled labor while addressing increasing sustainability concerns, including energy efficiency, through recycling and circularity initiatives.</p> <p>McKinsey’s Battery Accelerator team provides the insights and expertise to address these challenges and capture the major growth opportunities ahead. Our team consists of more than 200 experts across Europe, APAC and North America, including senior experts from the industry from cell R&D, gigafactory construction and industrialization, as well as other relevant topics.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div data-component="mdc-c-module-wrapper" data-module-theme="default" data-module-background="transparent"
