Business Oriented Forum – Hydrogen Mobility
- Call for applications
- Hydrogen
The transport industry accounts for around 25% of global CO₂ emissions. To meet the European Union’s carbon neutrality target by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement, it is essential to significantly reduce emissions from this sector and therefore make an energy transition. In the field of mobility, as in other sectors, no single energy source is perfect or universally applicable. Therefore, the transition is not a switch from one energy to another, but rather a process of energy diversification.
Within this diversified landscape, hydrogen stands out as a viable alternative to fully battery-powered vehicles. It is particularly well-suited to heavy-duty and/or intensive use cases, where battery technologies face performance or operational limitations.
However, several interdependent barriers still need to be overcome to enable the widespread deployment of hydrogen-powered mobility solutions.
Business Oriented Forum – Call for applications
In order to accelerate the development of a major hydrogen valley, the cluster CARA, in partnership with TENERRDIS and AXELERA, invites you to take part in a dedicated networking day focused on the theme: “Hydrogen Mobility: from design to ecosystem.”
To maximize your visibility during this event, which will take place at the SOLUTRANS trade fair at Eurexpo on 18 November 2025, we are launching a call for applications with several participation opportunities (you may select more than one option):
- Give a pitch presentation
- Benefit from a dedicated space to showcase your solutions during networking breaks
- Participate as a decision-maker/prime contractor/project owner
- Have the guided tour include a stop at your stand
To apply, please send an email to Thomas CREMOUX, specifying the option(s) you would like to apply for.
If you are applying for a pitch presentation, please provide a summary of your proposed talk (half a page maximum)
Please note that the number of pitch slots is limited. Presentations will be selected based on their relevance to the event’s theme and the clarity of the summary.
