Battery-News has become integrated into PEM Share GmbH, a freshly established independent entity designed to unite trade journalism with training programmes, industry events, and a broad network encompassing manufacturers, academic institutions, and technology startups. The shift promises readers enhanced depth, stronger practical application of information, and innovative content delivery formats, all while preserving the outlet's commitment to editorial integrity.

The publication will maintain its foundation as a reliable source of battery sector reporting. The structural change introduces expanded resources behind the newsroom: PEM Share creates a framework where scientific knowledge, hands-on industrial experience, professional training, and sector relationships operate in closer coordination. Battery-News serves as the media pillar of this ecosystem, positioning itself to move beyond breaking announcements and deliver richer analysis of industry shifts. For the editorial operation, this represents a maturation phase that strengthens capabilities without altering the publication's fundamental character.

The independent PEM Share GmbH emerged from restructuring within the broader PEM Motion group. The company's mandate centres on knowledge dissemination, workforce development, journalism, and professional networking. Beyond Battery-News, its holdings encompass the Battery Production Days conference series and the E-Mobility Production Awards programme.

What remains constant and what transforms

  • Unchanged: Battery-News operates as a journalistic platform documenting companies, innovations, market dynamics, and policy frameworks in the battery sector
  • New: Expanded access to technical specialists, industrial practitioners, and additional information sources
  • Expanding: Investigative pieces, expert conversations, field reports, and digital interactive storytelling
  • Inviolable: Strict boundaries between commercial agendas, specialist opinion, and independently verified reporting

Beyond surface-level reporting

The battery sector is simultaneously accelerating innovation output and multiplying the volume of technical information. Manufacturing breakthroughs, compliance frameworks, cell safety protocols, European sourcing strategies, and emerging storage architectures are all advancing simultaneously. For business leaders and technical professionals, awareness of an occurrence alone has become insufficient. Understanding the technical implications, business consequences, and regulatory significance of developments has become essential.

This analytical orientation defines Battery-News' strategic direction moving forward. Through the PEM Share ecosystem, journalists gain access to specialists, industrial operators, research bodies, and innovators in emerging technologies. This network proves invaluable for subjects requiring more than corporate messaging or statistical analysis—topics demanding specialised technical understanding and real-world industrial perspective.

The strategy involves pairing breaking developments with contextual knowledge and practical application insights more frequently. This encompasses detailed examinations of technological systems and manufacturing approaches, explanations of policy and economic shifts, dialogues with subject matter experts, and documentation of commercialisation and scaling initiatives. Material emerging from training programmes, industry conferences, and sector events will integrate more tightly with editorial coverage.

Bidirectional knowledge circulation

The relationship between journalism, professional education, and industry connection operates as a two-way exchange. Topics surfacing in Battery-News investigations can generate curriculum for educational sessions and specialist forums. Simultaneously, conversations at conferences or within industrial projects can highlight subjects deserving greater visibility in sector-wide public discourse.

The battery industry doesn't need more information — it needs better context. At PEM Share, we combine technical know-how, industrial practice, and industry communication, turning news into knowledge that actually helps companies move forward

Distinct functions, pooled knowledge

Within the restructured PEM Group, PEM Share concentrates on knowledge development, journalism, workforce training, and community building. PEM Volterra specialises in battery evaluation, technical assessment, regulatory compliance, and market entry support. The refreshed PEM Motion oversees technology advancement and manufacturing initiatives. WLF Energy, incorporating the previous Battery Management Systems division, rounds out the collaborative network.

PEM Share's ownership structure includes Christoph Lienemann, Sebastian Küster, Prof. Achim Kampker, and Dr.-Ing. Christoph Deutskens, with Prof. Heiner Heimes contributing as an advisory member. This shareholder group combines expertise spanning academic research, commercial production, professional education, and sector communication. Their collective background enables not merely observation of industry evolution, but translation of developments into actionable understanding for business practitioners.

The Battery-News journalism staff continues unchanged in composition. This experienced reporting group maintains its foundation in journalistic standards and sector knowledge, with expansion anticipated throughout coming years.
