Hydrogen Economy & Skills for Heavy Duty Mobility

At the heart of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, you'll have the opportunity to discover a rich program of conferences highlighting key international players in the sector, major projects under development in Wallonia and its surrounding areas (Germany, France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands), strategic challenges, particularly related to infrastructure, and the required skills.

The main objective of this event is to kick-start the clean hydrogen market in heavy-duty mobility by showing that the technology is already ready and highlighting the key elements that remain to be overcome.

During this day, you'll also could participate in B2B exchanges organized via the B2match platform and get a sneak preview of Europe's largest demonstration of H2 trucks and cars.

Through this platform, you will be able to describe your skills and all participants interested in your expertise will be able to book a session to network with you during the two breaks.

For practical information, see the page "how to set up match making sessions"
