Cooperation in the Hydrogen Sector

Be part of Germany's energy transition and learn how you can benefit from Germany's Energy-producing regions of the future. Phasing out coal will give companies the historic opportunity to use environmentally friendly innovation to help shape structural change in these regions.

Germany Trade & Invest and its partners* cordially invite you to a 5 days business trip to learn about business models along the value chain of smart energies, with a focus on green hydrogen. From 23 to 27 October 2023 you will learn about numerous investment opportunities, meet with the who-is-who of the German H2-szene, talk to experts and help shape the transition from coal-based power generation to a sustainable, innovative economic sector. We prepared an exciting and comprehensive program for you to dive into the German hydrogen landscape.
