Long-duration redox flow battery (membrane-free)

What you'll experience:
DroneHorizon 2025 takes place on 4 September 2025 in the iconic Maassilo – a former grain silo that captures the spirit of Rotterdam: layered, and full of character. We’ve chosen this setting because it reflects the kind of energy we want the event to bring: a striking contrast in a space where industrial heritage meets forward-looking strategic themes.
The Maassilo is just minutes from the city center and easily accessible by public transport, bike, or car.
