Events

To connect with regional, national and international players from industry, science and society, SupplHyInno Rhineland and its members regularly attend various events. The goal is to increase the public perception of hydrogen as the key to energy transition and to present our work. Furthermore, we aim to widen our network and to advance research with potential partners.
