Global Business Innovation Programme Hydrogen - USA
Innovate UK’s Global Business Innovation Programme helps businesses explore collaborative innovation and understand the landscape that exists in overseas markets. We are currently accepting applications for up to 15 companies in the Hydrogen sector to join our programme supported by various research centres and businesses in Washington DC/ California - USA. Participants will be provided with pre-visit support from an Innovate UK EDGE Innovation and Growth Specialist. The aim is to foster and support collaborative research and development through UK and US partnerships. We welcome applications from businesses developing innovative hydrogen solutions that can be exploited in small-medium industrial clusters or non-industrial clusters of any size.
Why Washington DC? The Hydrogen Americas 2024 Summit & Exhibition in Washington DC will likely include announcements about the distribution of the Department of Energy's hydrogen hub funding and offer networking opportunities with prominent US stakeholders.
Why California? California is home to the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES), a hydrogen hub with federal funding, which pioneers a non-industrial hydrogen market, focusing on renewable hydrogen, biomass conversion, and decarbonising public transport and port operations.
The California Hydrogen Leadership Summit is held in California, discussing policies and incentives to boost hydrogen production, usage, and storage, crucial for California's emission targets and goals in climate protection, air quality, energy resilience, and sustainable growth (attendance to above summits is part of the programme).
