The Transatlantic Dialogue

The initiative “Transatlantic Dialogue - Exchange of Canadian and German Regions to Establish and Expand Hydrogen Hubs” focuses on local hydrogen actors in Germany and Canada through a “bottom-up” approach.  Through its regional focus, the initiative promotes a sustainable dialogue, which aims to initiate possible research and business partnerships. Specifically, the initiative brings together six regional hydrogen networks, three of which are in Germany and three in Canada.  

• Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub
• SFU Clean Hydrogen Hub
• Vallée de la transition énergétique

• Cluster Brennstoffzelle BW
• Steinbeis Innovationszentrum (siz) energieplus
• Zentrum für Energietechnik (ZET) of the University Bayreuth

This project opened with two webinars open to the general public, for relevant hydrogen stakeholders in Germany and Canada to learn about the participating hubs and the role of the hubs in their broader national hydrogen landscape. The hubs will then have further opportunities to exchange as part of further webinars, as well as two delegation trips to Germany and Canada in connection with the 2025 Hannover Messe and Hy-FCell (Vancouver). Should you wish to meet the hubs as part of their visits, please feel free to reach out!
