Hydrogen is a key factor for the energy transition and a sustainable future. Companies, research institutions, and innovators in Germany and the Czech Republic are working intensively on the development and implementation of hydrogen technologies. This includes production, storage, and applications such as propulsion technologies. Aiming to promote the research and development landscape between Czech and German companies, we warmly invite you to the cooperation workshop „Hydrogen“ on October 29, 2024. The event takes place within the framework of the National Transformation Hub for hydrogen-based drives and components in the automotive and supplier industry (cH2ance) project.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to establish valuable contacts, exchange knowledge, and initiate joint projects. We look forward to your participation and a successful collaboration.
