THE 2026 EDITION
You won't be leaving with any brochures.
You'll leave with some projects.
The forum is designed to be a business accelerator. It’s not just another trade show: it’s a place where decisions are made and where the right people are, at last, all in the same room.
Qualified appointments
Meet the partners, suppliers, and clients who can truly help with your hydrogen projects in a B2B setting—schedule your meetings in advance on the dedicated platform.
Practical solutions
An exhibition space where you can see and test H₂ equipment, technologies, and prototypes. The real thing—not just another brochure.
Insightful discussions
Conferences and round-table discussions with experts and industry representatives. Everything you need to make an informed decision.
A network that matters
Lunch and networking event: informal gatherings where partnerships are formed and projects get off the ground.
Is the H2 sector under pressure? Let's get ready for what's next!
While there may be a slowdown in France, this is not the case throughout Europe, and even less so in certain regions of the world (Asia, the Middle East). Hydrogen has not been abandoned. In fact, it has been designated a national priority under China’s new five-year plan. And in several countries, projects are moving past the final investment decision stage.
Without affordable hydrogen, there can be no market. The good news is that we’re starting to see facilities emerge that will produce renewable hydrogen on a large scale. Even in France.
So, the industry must not give up. And we need to focus our efforts on the most practical applications.
