As we close the final chapter of 2025, Sphere Energy’s founders sat down for a special "Christmas Edition" of Espresso Talks to reflect on a transformative year for the energy and automotive sectors.
2025 was a year of consolidation and "tough lessons" for the European industrial ecosystem. From the volatility of the battery market to the shifting demands in automotive, the industry faced significant headwinds. However, amidst these challenges, clear signals of a turnaround have emerged.
Key Themes & Highlights:
