Benelux Hydrogen Knowledge Exchange

We’re still energised by the fantastic days we spent in Groningen, where LuxHyVal and HEAVENN brought together hashtag#researchers, hashtag#engineers, consortium members, and key stakeholders from across the Benelux Hydrogen ecosystem.

During the Benelux Hydrogen Knowledge Exchange, we shared insights, explored new synergies, and strengthened collaboration between two major hashtag#EuropeanHydrogenValleys.

👉 A unique opportunity to drive innovation, technology transfer, and new partnerships in the region.

Programme highlights Day1: 🌟 Welcome words and overview energy for Groningen by Charles van Santvoord (New Energy Coalition - Netherlands)

🌟Official event opening by Jan M. (Benelux Union).

🌟 Key presentations by: Geerte de Jong (New Energy Coalition - Netherlands), Bradley Ladewig (LuxHyVal - Luxembourg), Adwin Martens (WaterstofNet - Belgium).
