The Enterprise Europe Network at Bayern Innovativ and the EEN UK are organizing a three-day information and cooperation trip on the subject of hydrogen with around 15 highly innovative British companies from the field of hydrogen technologies.
The current geopolitical and economic upheavals in international trade clearly show that resilience is created through new partnerships, fresh impetus and joint innovation. The future field of hydrogen in particular offers enormous opportunities.
Just in time for Christmas, the Enterprise Europe Network at Bayern Innovativ is welcoming a delegation from the British innovation agency Innovate UK together with around 15 highly innovative British companies from the hydrogen sector. The UK and Germany are among the most active players in the European hydrogen market. They have therefore reaffirmed their strategic cooperation through a joint declaration on hydrogen partnership and extensive funding and financing programs are available in the field of hydrogen.
