Collaboration at Scale: Establishing the Open Smart Charging Ecosystem

September 1-3, 2026 | Berlin Tempelhof Airport

Collaboration has always been at the foundation of the eMobility industry. The progress achieved to date is a testament to that. But mass EV adoption demands more.

True interoperability must now extend beyond what the industry has built so far. The convergence of mobility and energy sectors is reshaping what an open, smart charging ecosystem must deliver. Smart charging, bidirectional power transfer and grid integration are no longer future considerations. They are present realities that require the entire industry to align, coordinate and build together.

A market that develops without that coordination risks fragmentation, poor driver experience and inefficient use of charging infrastructure. Slower EV adoption is the cost of an industry that builds in isolation. An open smart charging ecosystem unlocks that potential. Seamless cross-border smart charging becomes achievable. Energy and infrastructure are used more efficiently. And when charging is seamless, reliable and accessible, the case for electric mobility makes itself.

The future of smart charging will be powered by a connected ecosystem, amplifying the strength of every player within it, designed, implemented and scaled together. icnc26 is where that work begins.
