ZBT at the Hydrogen Technology Expo 2026 in Hamburg

From 20 to 22 October 2026, we will be at the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg. Together with our partners from the MAT4HY.NRW collaboration platform, we will be showcasing research, technologies, and solutions for the hydrogen economy.

The Hydrogen Technology World Expo brings together companies, research institutions, technology providers, and users from the international hydrogen industry. Key topics include electrolysis, fuel cells, hydrogen production and infrastructure, materials, components, testing, and industrial applications. In 2026, the trade show will take place at Hamburg Messe and, according to the organizer, will bring together more than 1,000 exhibitors.

Working Together for Better Hydrogen Technologies

Our joint booth is coordinated through the MAT4HY.NRW collaboration platform. The platform brings together research and industry to develop new materials for hydrogen technologies and accelerate their transfer to industrial applications.

We look forward to a diverse exhibition space in collaboration with:

  • Fraunhofer UMSICHT
  • Westphalian University of Applied Sciences and the startups ProPuls, Direct Matter, and HSW Materials
  • Fraunhofer IPT
  • Laufenberg

The joint booth demonstrates how materials development, manufacturing, characterisation, and system integration are interlinked — and what can be achieved through collaboration among different disciplines and organisations.

What We Do

Let’s talk about technology

We’re most looking forward to meeting you in person in Hamburg. We love talking about technology: new approaches, effective solutions, and the areas where things aren’t quite working as they should yet.

Tell us about your technical issues. We’ll listen, ask the right questions, and work with you to find a solution.

Come meet ZBT at the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg from October 20 to 22, 2026!
