An R&D-ZIM innovation network has been established by the Mobility & Logistics Cluster: HY2.ZERO – Mobility needs hydrogen. SMEs work together with research institutions, large companies and users in the network. The network consists of about 30 members.
HY2.ZERO aims to support the industrialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies through new and improved solutions and is thus part of the market ramp-up. The network brings together specialists from different fields in joint R&D projects to develop innovative solutions. The particular challenge in setting up and establishing the network was that no physical meetings could take place due to corona. A personal meeting as an element of confidence building could not take place until now. However, the cluster has developed methods and procedures as well as experience that can also be used for virtual meetings with cluster members. From a technical point of view, the network makes a significant contribution to the innovation orientation of the cluster.
