The Netherlands and green hydrogen

The Netherlands plays a leading role in developing the international hydrogen sector.

• Our ports and infrastructure are important hubs for the rest of Europe.
• Additionally, Dutch hydrogen companies have a good reputation. These companies translate innovative ideas for the hydrogen transition into achievable solutions. The companies present these solutions to an international audience at WHS.

World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition

You will meet international hydrogen companies and organisations at the exhibition. Political leaders and governments from all over the world will also attend the conference in Rotterdam. Many country pavilions will have a booth at the summit, among them our NL Pavilion.
