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. This trip is the continuation of our digital hydrogen investors tour through the former coal-mining regions.
