Delegation Overview

The Indian Hydrogen Delegation forms an integrated three-day programme combining industrial visits, participation in the Hydrogen Transition Summit, and structured collaboration activities.

Day 1

Industry & Innovation Immersion

The programme begins with curated visits to selected industrial facilities, research laboratories, and innovation organisations in the Burghausen region. The objective is to provide delegates with practical insight into Germany's hydrogen ecosystem while creating opportunities to engage directly with industry experts, researchers, and institutional stakeholders before the Summit. The day concludes with a delegation networking dinner, enabling participants to establish relationships within the delegation and with invited German stakeholders.

Day 2

Hydrogen Transition Summit


Delegates participate in the Hydrogen Transition Summit alongside the wider international community.

The Summit programme includes keynote addresses, expert panel discussions, thematic technical sessions, technology showcases, research poster presentations, startup demonstrations, and networking opportunities.

Participants will have opportunities to interact with leaders from industry, government, academia, investment, and the innovation ecosystem while exploring developments across the hydrogen value chain.

Day 3

Collaboration & Business Engagement

The final day focuses on facilitating practical collaboration. Delegates participate in curated business meetings and institutional discussions with German organisations based on areas of mutual interest identified during registration.

The programme shall include business discussions, university engagement, research collaboration meetings, technology partnership conversations, investment dialogue, and institutional networking. The objective is to provide an environment where discussions initiated during the Summit can progress towards future collaboration.

Why Participate?

Organisations across India's hydrogen and clean energy ecosystems.

India has embarked upon one of the world's most ambitious hydrogen programmes through significant investments in renewable energy, green hydrogen production, manufacturing capability, and industrial decarbonisation. At the same time, Germany continues to advance hydrogen deployment across industrial applications, infrastructure, engineering, research, and technology development.

These complementary strengths present significant opportunities for collaboration. The Indian Hydrogen Delegation provides a structured environment for organisations from India to engage directly with German industry, universities, public institutions, and innovation partners. Rather than focusing solely on presentations or networking, the programme combines practical exposure with curated interactions designed to support long-term cooperation.

Participants will gain insight into emerging technologies, industrial implementation, applied research, regulatory developments, and business opportunities while establishing relationships that can develop into commercial partnerships, research collaborations, technology transfer initiatives, and future joint projects.
