The 2024 edition of the industry-leading event will be held from January 30 to 1is February 2024 at Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles. On the program: discoveries, meetings and discussions with key players from the entire hydrogen ecosystem value chain.
A market development accelerator in Europe
The first trade fair dedicated to hydrogen, Hyvolution is a professional platform where public and private decision-makers at national and territorial levels meet, as well as industry and scientific research players. This now unmissable event is a real point of convergence offering a commercial, international and political dimension. It facilitates networking and creates opportunities for establishing new partnerships, focused on three strategic markets: energy, mobility and industry.
For this 7e edition, more than 550 exhibitors and brands (40% increase) will be present, over a period of three days (compared to two last year) through an outreach that aims to be international with the participation of 25 exhibiting countries. For the second consecutive year, Hyvolution will be placed under the high patronage of Emmanuel Macron, President of the Republic: a renewed confidence of the French public authorities for this international event.
Between discoveries, meetings and exchanges
Hyvolution offers visitors the opportunity to dive into the world of hydrogen by discovering the latest market innovations and meeting with the various players in the sector. The opportunity to find answers and partners for the deployment of projects with decisive players: manufacturers, SMEs, startups or other emerging structures and major French and international decision-makers. Participation in discussions with key players in the sector also contributes to exploring recent advances that are shaping a promising future for hydrogen in the service of the energy transition.
In the program
The show will offer 3 forum areas dedicated to speaking and feedback from exhibiting companies, territories and partners. In total, 5 thematic sessions, 70 workshops, 150 speakers and 1 international summit. In addition, an employment-training campus will be set up to support visitors in their job searches, recruitment and employee skills development. The addition of a pavilion and an additional day for this 2024 edition will further strengthen its status as a decisive international meeting.
Hyvolution Summit
Building the world of hydrogen requires close dialogue between French and international institutional and economic stakeholders. Driven by the success of its first edition with the participation of nearly 400 decision-makers, this meeting is the highlight where deployment strategies are shared and enriched. More than 50 countries have already validated roadmaps dedicated to hydrogen, placing its deployment on the agenda of international bodies such as the G7, the G20, the IEA, as well as European and national bodies. Hydrogen was also a key topic at the last Cop28. Hyvolution Summit will be the first major political and economic meeting where decision-makers will debate the scope of this Cop 28, which is raising great expectations for the next phases of hydrogen deployment.
The debates scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, January 30 aim to bring together the various stakeholders around industrial issues in the current emerging phase. From 2024–2026, the first large-scale projects in mobility, energy, infrastructure and industry will come to fruition. However, the road to the announced objectives is still long. At the dawn of this pivotal period, Hyvolution Summit will highlight, on an international and territorial scale, the initiatives needed to strengthen and consolidate this sector.
