Welcome to H2 Forum 2026

The Trinational Hydrogen Initiative 3H2 annually invites participants to a forum on hydrogen – alternating between Germany, France, and Switzerland. The aim is to highlight renewable hydrogen as a central component of a climate-neutral and secure energy supply and to promote its cross-border use together.

On October 14, 2026, the H2 Forum 2026 will take place in Konstanz in cooperation with three Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Leading figures from business, science, politics, and society will come together to exchange ideas, provide new impulses, and establish valuable contacts.

This year, a special focus will be on education and training in the hydrogen sector, as well as on presenting regional and international projects.

A detailed program will follow.

Program

The H2 Forum 2026 gains a strong voice with Julia Kovar as keynote speaker. For the past five years, she has been leading the Klimaschutzstiftung Baden-Württemberg, where she is responsible, among other things, for the strategic orientation of the foundation.

In her keynote, she will look beyond hydrogen to the bigger picture of climate protection and transformation:

  • What is needed to effectively advance transformative topics?

  • What role does strategic networking play – especially in cross-border cooperation?

  • And how can we create the framework conditions that meaningfully shape the professions of the future?
