The industry network HZwo, which specializes in hydrogen technologies, is receiving further financial support. A good 1.8 million euros has been approved as follow-up funding beyond 2025, the Ministry of Economic Affairs announced. This will allow the innovation cluster to continue its work until 2028.
The network was founded in 2017 and is dedicated to promoting green hydrogen and fuel cell technology. It brings together companies and research institutions. It was instrumental in establishing the Hydrogen Innovation Center (HIC) in Chemnitz - one of four large hydrogen centers in Germany funded by the federal government with up to 290 million euros. The HIC is primarily intended to support small and medium-sized companies and start-ups in developing new business areas for hydrogen technologies. To this end, laboratories, test benches and workshops are being built to efficiently develop technologies and products to market maturity.
