The H2UB, Europe's hydrogen hub for start-ups, companies and research and decarbXpo, the trade fair for industrial decarbonisation and energy storage, have signed a partnership agreement. As a part of their cooperation, the partners are connecting young companies from the hydrogen sector with industrial users and leading industrial organisations.
Decarbonisation needs cross-industry cooperation
decarbXpo’s cross-industry and cross-sectoral approach is an ideal match for the innovations happening in the hydrogen sector which theH2UB is supporting: "It's not just a few industries but almost all economic sectors can reduce their climate-relevant emissions by utilising hydrogen. Upstream and downstream processes within the hydrogen value chain, supply chains, and converting and expanding the existing infrastructure call for a strategic approach. This is the only way to supply all users with enough hydrogen at the right time, and to plan and implement the use of hydrogen in a business context. A common roadmap and an active exchange between all participants are essential, and start-ups play an important role, says Uwe Kerkmann, CEO of H2UB.
Joint stand "Experience H2 Innovation with H2UB"
The H2UB will offer start-ups from the hydrogen sector a presentation and communication platform at decarbXpo. H2UB invites start-ups from the entire value chain - from production, storage and transport of hydrogen to its use in different industries and sectors - to apply for a space at the "Experience H2 Innovation with H2UB" joint stand. The H2UB is also active in the accompanying programme of decarbXpo. "We offer start-ups from the hydrogen economy an excellent opportunity to present their innovations and ideas to an expert audience from different industries and business sectors, and thus to potential beta customers", says Kerkmann.
decarbXpo takes advantage of Messe Düsseldorf's industry network
As one of the world's largest trade fair companies, Messe Düsseldorf has access to a network with several hundred-thousand visitor contacts in industries such as glass, metal, plastics and paper. In addition, there are user industries for energy storage and decarbonization such as retail and medical technology. Young companies can benefit from this network: "Start-ups from the hydrogen sector meet different industries at decarbXpo, international companies and minds with strategic vision, who are interested in joint projects. The industry is very open to hydrogen innovations. We are sure that the H2UB H2 innovation platform at decarbXpo will be well attended, adds Bernd Jablonowski, Executive Director, Messe Düsseldorf.
The H2UB will be located at decarbXpo from September 20 to 22 2022, in hall 9, stand number 9 C 52.
