<\/span><\/h2>\nAs one of the most influential global barometers for battery and energy-storage technology, InterBattery has long drawn intense industry attention. The awards are organized by the Korea Battery Industry Association, with evaluation conducted by a panel of leading global experts in battery technology. The selection process is known for its rigor and professionalism.<\/span><\/p>\nFor 2026, entries were assessed across five key criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n\n responsiveness to evolving policy and regulatory environments <\/span><\/li>\n contribution to supply-chain development <\/span><\/li>\n ESG sustainability performance <\/span><\/li>\n product commercialization readiness <\/span><\/li>\n safety and reliability<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTogether, these dimensions evaluate not only technological advancement but also real-world industrial value and scalability.<\/span><\/p>\nHistorically, award categories at InterBattery have largely been dominated by Korean companies, with Chinese enterprises notably absent from the winners\u2019 list. Against this backdrop, LEAD\u2019s breakthrough carries particular significance. As the only non-Korean company honored this year, LEAD has effectively overcome a long-standing nationality barrier in one of the industry\u2019s most competitive arenas.<\/span><\/p>\nThe recognition serves as strong validation of LEAD\u2019s technological strength\u2014and signals to the global market that China\u2019s high-end intelligent equipment capabilities are now fully competitive at the highest levels of international battery manufacturing innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Engineering Breakthrough<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>Dry-Electrode Coating Sets a New Industry Benchmark<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nThe dry mixing and coating system recognized in this year\u2019s award combines technological innovation with clear industrial value.
