ERIG at European Hydrogen Week 2026: Three days of Exchange, projects and collaboration
From 26 to 28 October 2026, ERIG participated in EU Hydrogen Week in Brussels with its own ERIG Meeting Point in Hall 7, Booth H32. Over three intensive days, the booth became a meeting place for ERIG members, project partners, researchers, industry representatives and stakeholders from across Europe.
A meeting point for the European hydrogen community
The idea behind the ERIG Meeting Point was simple: create a welcoming space where people could meet, connect and exchange ideas.
Throughout EU Hydrogen Week, this concept came to life. The booth provided a platform not only for presenting ERIG and its activities, but also for discussions between projects, partners and visitors from different parts of the European hydrogen and energy community.
Bringing our projects into the spotlight
A particular focus was placed on the European projects in which ERIG and its partners are involved.
Presentations and dedicated sessions gave project representatives the opportunity to share their work, discuss results and experiences, and engage directly with interested stakeholders. The informal setting of the Meeting Point encouraged questions and follow-up discussions, helping to connect research activities with practical perspectives and challenges.
Sharing knowledge and starting conversations
The programme at the ERIG Meeting Point demonstrated that presentations are only the starting point for meaningful exchange.
Across the three days, discussions covered different perspectives from research, innovation, infrastructure and markets, reflecting the broad range of challenges and opportunities associated with the development of the European hydrogen sector.
At the same time, many valuable conversations took place outside the scheduled sessions. Project partners met new stakeholders, existing connections were strengthened and new contacts and ideas emerged.
Collaboration starts with conversation
For ERIG, this was one of the most important outcomes of EU Hydrogen Week 2026.
Innovation and collaboration depend on bringing together people with different perspectives and expertise. The ERIG Meeting Point provided exactly this environment, connecting research, industry, projects and stakeholders and creating opportunities for new conversations and future cooperation.
Thank you to our community!!
We would like to thank all speakers, project partners, ERIG members, visitors and everyone who stopped by our booth during EU Hydrogen Week 2026.
Your presentations, questions, ideas and conversations made the ERIG Meeting Point what it was intended to be: a place to meet, connect and exchange.
And while EU Hydrogen Week 2026 has come to an end, the conversations continue.
Let’s keep connecting research, industry and stakeholders for Europe’s energy future.
