Hosted by The Voice of Renewables and held in Essen, Hydrogen Connections DACH will take place on 2026 and gather representatives of H2 and P2X developers, gas TSOs, utilities and offtakers.
Spain is emerging as one of Europe’s most important hydrogen markets. Combining world-class renewable resources, ambitious infrastructure development and growing industrial demand, the country is positioning itself at the heart of the future European hydrogen economy. As hydrogen corridors, industrial clusters, export routes and large-scale production projects move from planning to implementation, attention is shifting from ambition to execution.
Hydrogen Connections IBERIA conference and exhibition brings together investors, project developers, industrial off-takers, utilities, policymakers and technology leaders to examine the opportunities shaping the market’s next phase. From infrastructure and financing to demand creation and commercial partnerships, the event focuses on the critical decisions that will determine which projects attract investment, secure customers and achieve long-term success in an increasingly competitive hydrogen landscape.
