At our events, we offer hydrogen start-ups and companies the opportunity to discuss relevant topics, network and exchange ideas. In addition to our own events, we organize delegation tours, trade fair participations and networking events.

The hydroverse convention by H2UB is the biggest hydrogen start-up innovation event in Europe, focusing on start-up innovation, venture building, implementation of innovative hydrogen technologies, financing and funding, recruitment and more. Around 600 hydrogen experts gathered in Essen, Germany, for the 2024 edition.

In our accelerator programs, H2 start-ups benefit from compact, focused and customized individual and group coaching sessions with mentors and industry experts. The content is challenge-driven and highly individualized. We tailor the programs to meet the unique needs of each start-up. Once the programs are over, we continue to deliver support through events, intros and matchings with corporate partners and investors.

As a think tank, we contribute to expert discussions on the further development of the hydrogen economy. Through our ecosystem, we have exclusive access to validated information on more than 500 H2 start-ups, which we combine with information from existing databases. Using this information, we provide H2UB Market Intelligence reports, in which we not only scout start-ups but also conduct a dedicated tech assessment of highly rated start-ups and innovative technologies.

For our corporate partners, we provide access to innovation and an active exchange with creative minds in the industry. We also scout, source, select and support start-ups to deliver innovative solutions to decarbonize business operations and maximize efficiency, while investing in future champions. As well as providing visibility and networking in the H2 innovation ecosystem, we offer insight and tech assessment on specific start-ups and application fields as part of a partnership or project-based collaboration.
