HYDROVERSE CONVENTION returns

The HYDROVERSE CONVENTION, Europe’s most ambitious hydrogen start-up and innovation event, will once again be a forum for discussions focusing on positive developments and results, supporting innovative ideas along the value chain and implementing hydrogen projects.

Therefore, this year we are teaming up with another hydrogen event in our region to join forces in uniting the European innovation ecosystem with regional industrial strengths.

The HYDROVERSE CONVENTION and the Hy Summit Rhein Ruhr by Hy.Region.Rhein.Ruhr e.V. will take place side by side on September 15, 2026 at Messe Essen.

We want to connect start-ups with investors and corporates to shape future technologies, partnerships and market access across the whole hydrogen value chain.

Together with our partners we especially address the energy industry in the Ruhr-Region, energy intensive industries and sectors, looking for smart ways to decarbonize by using hydrogen and its derivates.

“With our joint event, we are creating a unique platform that combines the innovative strength of the European hydrogen start-up scene with the industrial expertise in the Rhine-Ruhr region. This brings international momentum and regional implementation experience to one place, strengthening the role of the region as a key location for the ramp-up of hydrogen in Germany and Europe,” says Uwe Kerkmann, CEO of H2UB.

We will drop more information in the upcoming weeks – until then Save the Date for September 15!
