On 10 & 11 June 2026, the Messe Dortmund Expo Center will welcome a global audience united by a keen interest in hydrogen production technologies.
Dortmund – at the heart of Germany’s ‘Hydrogen Valley’.
Worldwide, governments and industries alike are embracing green hydrogen as a keystone for the energy transition. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Ruhr area of Germany. Long known as the industrial heartland of Germany, the Ruhr region is now also home to a rapidly expanding hydrogen economy and infrastructure which enjoys the support of local and national government.
Many leading companies are actively involved in developing the hydrogen sector within this region. For example, energy company STEAG, steel producer thyssenkrupp Steel and electrolysis experts thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers have joined forces to provide green hydrogen and oxygen for steel production.
And no fewer than eight companies and institutions are working on a cross-sectoral development plan for hydrogen infrastructure and production in the Ruhr region. Their common vision is not just for the Ruhr area to become a spearhead in the energy transformation, but also to demonstrate and promote a transition that is fast, connected and sustainable.
Located in the heart of Germany’s ‘Hydrogen Valley’, the city of Dortmund is therefore the perfect venue for the Hydrogen Tech World Exhibition and Conference. The show will function as a meeting point for the many and diverse companies in the immediate vicinity involved with hydrogen. For example, companies using hydrogen to power industrial processes, making hydrogen via electrolysis, storing and transporting hydrogen, etc. Not to mention the great number of manufacturers that provide all the necessary equipment – pumps, valves, electrolyser stacks, heat exchangers, coolers, tanks, pipes, actuators, etc, required throughout the burgeoning hydrogen sector.
