Bridging innovation across LuxHyVal & HEAVENN

Groningen, Netherlands
Hosted by: HEAVENN & LuxHyVal

LuxHyVal and HEAVENN are joining forces to host the Benelux Hydrogen Knowledge Exchange, a two-day event bringing together researchers, engineers, consortium members, and stakeholders from across the Benelux hydrogen ecosystem.

The aim: to foster collaboration between two major European Hydrogen Valleys, share insights, and explore joint opportunities for innovation, technology transfer, and new partnerships in the region.

The programme will combine keynote sessions, thematic roundtables, site visits, and interactive workshops, covering topics such as hydrogen mobility, infrastructure, industrial applications, certification, and digital tools.
