Greeting from the Host

I am pleased to welcome you to Saarland – the hydrogen model region in the heart of Europe. A warm welcome to the Handelsblatt Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Saarbrücken!

What distinguishes the hydrogen summit on a national level – the close networking and exchange of stakeholders to establish a sustainable hydrogen economy – is already being practiced in our region across borders: The initiative “Grande Region Hydrogen” (EEIG) will create a hydrogen economy system in the greater Saarland, Lorraine, and Luxembourg region and offers market participants the opportunity to align their projects and leverage synergies.
