The aim of European Regions for Hydrogen Society event is to present functional options for interregional and intercity cooperation in the area of hydrogen and fuel cells innovation, demonstration and co-investment.

Regions and cities are vital for accelerating the deployment and implementation of hydrogen and technologies in the mobility and transport sectors, areas in which synchronization of policies and investments towards Hydrogen Corridors is indispensable.

The event intends to align local and regional roadmaps and policies with European strategies for sustainable energy and hydrogen, thus attracting innovation, investment and capacity building for these sectors.

We are also looking for the partners who are interested in collaboration under upcoming calls, and who wants to present and share their H2020-EGD, or Horizon Europe, with fellow regions and citiesé
