Duration: 1 Day
Konstanz, Germany
Bodenseeforum Konstanz

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. 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.
