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. For last year’s (and first) installment, more than 350 hydrogen experts gathered in Essen, Germany.

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 market. In our study “Mind the Gap: Navigating the Investment Landscape of Hydrogen Start-Ups”, we investigated patterns of venture funding of hydrogen start-ups in Europe and the US. With everyone in the hydrogen industry talking about the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, we have taken a close look at how much is being invested, when, where, by whom, and in what funds.

For our corporate partners, we offer access to hydrogen innovations and an active exchange with creative minds in the industry. Further benefits for corporate partners include strengthening their H2 market position and visibility for upcoming talents, having a seat at the H2UB advisory board and being part of a shared #HYDROVERSE knowledge community.

To succeed in an emerging field like hydrogen, it is crucial to leverage structures, access real insights and to identify the truly relevant players and partners: big or small, agile or experienced. I am very happy that H2UB, through its ever-growing ecosystem and acceleration programs, has become a true hub in the hydrogen space.
