Situation

In Europe, we have the common goal of reducing our dependence on fossil fuel imports and decarbonising our economies. To achieve this goal, we are committed to developing a green hydrogen economy. The common long-term goal is to make green hydrogen economically viable. For Swiss and German companies in particular, this opens up a wide range of business opportunities with partners in Europe and internationally, for example in the field of component manufacturing for fuel cells and electrolysers, in plant construction and in the production, transport and storage of green hydrogen.

Course of action

At the invitation of the Bern University of Applied Sciences and Feintool International Holding AG with the support of the Bern Economic Development Agency, the “HZwo: Swiss Saxonian Hydrogen Forum: Research and Industry hand in hand” will provide participants with in-depth, technically orientated insights into various forward-looking solutions in hydrogen technologies. Inspiring technical presentations and practical examples will promote the exchange of ideas among participants. The participation of relevant research institutions also offers the opportunity to address specific project approaches in the industry-oriented R&D environment and to realise them both at national level and with European partners.

This project contributes to the following SDGs

  • 7: Affordable and clean energy
  • 12: Responsible consumption and production
