200 Exhibitors Anticipated at 15th Group Exhibit H2/FC

A record-breaking number of 156 exhibitors from 23 nations took part in the 14th Group Exhibit Hydrogen + Fuel Cells. Thousands of international visitors took this opportunity to inform themselves about the newest hydrogen and/or fuel cell applications, services and research advances. Each day articles about the Group Exhibit H2/FC could be found in international media. Thirty-five high-ranking politicians and delegations explored the latest H2/FC products and applications of this technology. One highlight of the week was the opening press conference on Monday afternoon covering the topic: “NIP – The National Innovation Program: will hydrogen and fuel cell technology be the future’s key to clean and safe energy supply?” Another magnet for visitors of the Group Exhibit H2/FC was the justly named “Innovation Alley“ with its 50 first time exhibitors.

With still 10 months to go until HANNOVER MESSE 2009, already 50+ exhibitors have registered for the 15th Group Exhibit Hydrogen + Fuel Cells including BASF Fuel Cell, Dana Holding Corp., Plug Power and SGL Technologies. Tobias Renz FAIR-PR, the coordinator of the Group Exhibit H2/FC, anticipates around 200 exhibitors from 25 countries in 2009.

The 15th Group Exhibit Hydrogen + Fuel Cells will take place April 20-24 at the HANNOVER MESSE 2009.
