Research and Industry Hand in Hand

The Swiss-Saxonian Hydrogen Forum brings together researchers and industry experts to provide an in-depth look at advanced hydrogen solutions and technologies. Inspiring technical contributions and case studies will promote the exchange of ideas among the participants. The involvement of relevant research institutions also offers the opportunity to address concrete project approaches in the industrial R&D environment and to realize them both on a national level as well as with European partners.

The forum is hosted by Feintool International Holding AG and Bern University of Applied Science in collaboration with HZwo, Bern Economic Development Agency, Saxony Trade & Invest Corporation and SITEC.
