The President of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, Mr. Alain Rousset, was keen to personally present their prizes to the winners of the 4th edition of the Hydrogénies competition, the hydrogen trophies. In order to allow him to join the hydrogen champions on stage, the ceremony is postponed by one hour. It will begin at 5:00 p.m.
A ceremony that has become one of the unmissable events in the hydrogen sector in 5 years
The awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. in the plenary hall of the Palais des congrès de Bordeaux as part of and as the highlight of the 24th European Energy Transition Conference (AETE) which is, let us recall, the most important annual event for Ademe and the thousands of local government officials who participate. The Hydrogénies ceremony will be followed by a cocktail, offered by the Valorem company, and a dinner for 1000 guests.
8 specific award categories rewarded in 2023

Two out of 10 prizes supported by 3 innovative industrialists are developed in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region
These awards are a reminder, if need be, of the dynamism demonstrated by the Nouvelle Aquitaine region in promoting reindustrialization and green innovation in its territory.
An increasingly popular prize: that of awareness, education and training
This prize is at the heart of the HR challenges of the sector and the efforts of the players to implement the appropriate training of tomorrow are crucial. To recognize this award, AFPA’s national development director, Fabrice Yeghiayan, will come in person to present this award to the winner and congratulate the exemplary action of a team.
The ‘Coup de cœur’ prize awarded again this year
As in 2022, the judges wanted to award the ‘Coup de cœur’ prize to a disruptive and particularly audacious project. This prize aims to reward, and therefore encourage a young team to continue on an innovative path and to give it more visibility among investors.
The ‘Hydrogen Personality of the Year’ award: a prestigious and unique reward
The prestigious ‘Hydrogen Personality of the Year’ prize was awarded unanimously by the jury this year to an industrial leader who has worked particularly hard to develop one of the industrial branches of the hydrogen sector.
« The Personality of the Year award is a great way to recognize a leader of industry, his team and his projects. » André Asse, co-founder of the competition and founder of Hydrogenium magazine, member of France Hydrogène
The winner will receive an original work of art symbolizing the new “hydrogen society”, as was the case in 2022, created especially for this award. The organizers thank the generous donor, Haffner Energy, who funded the creation of this work of art.
