The Budapest Hydrogen Summit presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders of the hydrogen value chain in Central and Eastern Europe to showcase their idea, strategy or project and to shape the hydrogen agenda of the region.
The Budapest Hydrogen Summit will be opened by Hungary’s Minister for Innovation and Technology, Mr László Palkovics. Hungary approved its National Hydrogen Strategy last year and considers hydrogen a significant contributor to the county’s 2050 carbon-neutrality target. Other Central and Eastern European countries were also quick to respond to the uptake of hydrogen technology, adopting ambitious goals and strategies regarding the development of their hydrogen economies. The Budapest Hydrogen Summit will provide a platform to present these goals and to identify common points and opportunities for cooperation.
The European Commission’s newly published Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Package gives a major push for the development of Europe’s internal market for hydrogen already by 2030. The next years will be crucial to lay the foundation for hydrogen deployment. At the Budapest Hydrogen Summit Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe – the leading organisation representing European based companies and stakeholders – will present the key factors to lay the foundation for policy, market design and financing activities that will make or break the development of the hydrogen sector.
The hydrogen economy spans several industries. At the Budapest Hydrogen Summit, you will learn about the key industries that will stimulate hydrogen demand from top executives of stakeholder companies.
