Hydrogen Leadership Summit

The hydrogen economy is gaining momentum worldwide, with governments and industries accelerating efforts to scale up hydrogen production, infrastructure, and innovation. But financing remains one of the key challenges in realising hydrogen’s full potential.
This panel will bring together leading experts from finance, policy, and industry to explore the current state and future outlook of hydrogen financing at both the European and global levels. Panellists will discuss public and private investment trends, the impact of regulatory frameworks, the balance between risk and profitability, and Europe’s leadership position in the global hydrogen economy.
