Brokerage Event "Hydrogen Technology and Fuel Cells" auf der "Building the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Future International Conference"

Midlands Enterprise Europe in cooperation with UK Trade and Industry invite you to take part in a half day brokerage event addressing Hydrogen Technology and fuel cells. The partnering platform will run in parallel to "Building the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Future International Conference" hosted by the University of Birmingham and Advantage West Midlands.

This is the first brokerage event of its kind since 2005 offering European organisations the unique opportunity to focus on Hydrogen and fuel cells.

The brokerage event has been designed to complement the conference enabling industrial and research organisations at the conference to benefit from a series of focused pre-arranged meetings with potential collaborators from across the continent. It is envisaged that the conference and brokerage event will facilitate technical and commercial cooperation as well as partnerships for Framework and the Joint Technology Initiative (JTI).

Due to high efficiencies, zero emissions and easy conversions, Hydrogen and Fuel Cells are increasingly perceived as important components in a low carbon economy. The East and West Midlands regions of the UK have emerged as strong players in the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells sector. The Midlands is home the UK's Energy Technologies Institute (ETI), as well as key innovators such as Rolls Royce Fuel Cells, Intelligent Energy Ltd, the Universities of Birmingham, Warwick and Loughborough. The University of Birmingham currently operates the country's only Hydrogen filling station.

This occasion on March 25th 2009 is exceptional as it offers attendees from outside the UK free participation at both the conference and brokerage event. The conference will address both national and European policy and perspectives as well as developments in the following areas: hydrogen production, storage and distribution , fuel cells for static and transportation applications.
