hy-fcell 2027: Be part of it!

Technology and research, market and people: hy-fcell is the premier event series for hydrogen and fuel cells. At the B2B event, which has been established for more than 20 years, participants exchange information on the current state of research, new projects and concrete examples with business and market opportunities. Present your solutions to the international hydrogen and fuel cell community and use the accompanying programme for valuable contacts and cooperation with the right partners.

At hy-fcell 2027, exhibitors will meet key decision-makers across the entire value chain – with a clear focus on mobility, production technology and fuel cells. Particularly in a challenging market environment, our partners and companies are sending a clear signal: implementation, scaling and partnerships are the top priorities.

Mobility – applications with market momentum: Present solutions for heavy-duty transport, logistics, rail and aviation, and meet users, integrators and operators driving concrete projects forward.
Production technology – from prototype to series production: Automation, quality assurance and scalable manufacturing are key to competitiveness. hy-fcell brings together players who are industrialising electrolyser and fuel cell production – from components to final assembly.
Fuel cells – Focus on H₂ and methanol: Alongside hydrogen, methanol is gaining relevance as an energy carrier. This broadens the perspective on system design, applications and the associated infrastructure.
New: Infrastructure – Synergies with eltefa & Volta-X: The parallel running of Volta-X (energy generation, control technology, storage) and eltefa creates an infrastructure focus with new target groups: energy suppliers, municipal utilities, network and building technology, and industry. Take advantage of the co-location to generate additional leads and tap into new markets.

This is how Stuttgart will become an energy hub by 2027 – with short distances between the Expo and the conference venue, and an environment that brings together technology, the market and implementation.
