The FUTURETECH_H2 project ends in Évora the final stop of its cross-border Roadshow, an initiative aimed at promoting knowledge, opportunities and the potential of green hydrogen within the framework of cooperation between Spain and Portugal.
The institutional opening event, held during the first session, brought together representatives from the project partner organisations and regional institutions linked to technological and industrial development. Among the participants were Carlos Jacinto Marín, Managing Director of FEDEME, who presented in detail the objectives, actions and outlook of the FUTURETECH_H2 project, as well as João Maria Grilo, President of the Board of Directors of ADRAL – Agência de Desenvolvimento Regional do Alentejo, among other distinguished attendees.
Following the opening session, the event will continued featuring a comprehensive programme of training and outreach activities. This initiative forms part of the joint work that FUTURETECH_H2 has been promoting to bring this technology closer to companies, professionals and innovation ecosystem stakeholders on both sides of the border.
The Évora Roadshow thus represents the culmination of a series of travelling activities that have passed through the cities of Seville, Huelva, Sines and Algeciras, strengthening training, knowledge transfer and exchange among key actors in the green hydrogen ecosystem.
Futuretech_H2: Promotion and Technological Development of the Green Hydrogen Industry
A total of six partners from the regions of Alentejo (Portugal) and Andalusia (Spain) are part of the consortium established in November 2023 to implement the various activities developed within this project.
