This summit brought together global leaders, innovators, and stakeholders across the hydrogen value chain — and it did not disappoint. From cutting-edge technological demonstrations to policy discussions shaping the future of clean energy, the summit was a hub of momentum and possibility for the hydrogen industry. For HSL Technologies, it was a fantastic opportunity to immerse ourselves in the latest trends and showcase our commitment to innovation in hydrogen transport and storage.
Building Meaningful Connections
One of the true highlights of the event was the quality of conversations and collaborations that emerged. We were thrilled to connect with fellow pioneers and experts who share our passion for driving the hydrogen economy forward. A heartfelt thank you to:

Your insights, openness, and enthusiasm made for truly engaging exchanges, and we’re excited to see where these conversations lead in the months ahead.
The Energy of Collaboration
As we walked the exhibition floor and attended sessions, it became clear: the hydrogen ecosystem is rapidly evolving — and it’s doing so through collaboration. From policy makers to industrial leaders, everyone is pushing in the same direction to make hydrogen a viable, scalable, and clean energy solution.
At HSL Technologies, we firmly believe in this collective momentum. Seeing the international community come together, share challenges, and present bold solutions made the future of hydrogen feel more tangible than ever. It’s this kind of alignment that fuels innovation and accelerates deployment.
A Spotlight on French Innovation
Participating inside the French Pavilion was a true point of pride for our team. The pavilion showcased the strength, ingenuity, and ambition of French companies in the hydrogen sector. Our thanks again to Business France for providing such a dynamic platform and for championing French excellence on the world stage.
Being part of the #ChooseFrance initiative is more than just a label — it’s a commitment to building bridges across borders, to innovating with purpose, and to contributing to a global clean energy future.
What’s Next?
As we return from Rotterdam, we do so energized by new ideas, inspired by new partnerships, and committed more than ever to our mission. The conversations started at the World Hydrogen Summit are only the beginning. The journey to a cleaner energy system is complex, but together — with partners across Europe and beyond — we are moving steadily toward a more sustainable future.
To everyone we met, spoke with, or learned from: thank you. We look forward to continuing the dialogue, deepening collaborations, and shaping the next chapters of hydrogen innovation.
