Fokker Next Gen selected as one of the Top 25 European Hydrogen Technology companies during EU Hydrogen Week
Fokker Next Gen was announced on stage last week by Tech Tour and Hydrogen Europe as one of the companies on the European Hydrogen Tech25 list during European Hydrogen Week.
This list showcases and celebrates those 25 hydrogen technology companies in Europe expected with the biggest growth in revenues, further investment and impact on the energy market. The list was selected through a rigorous nomination and voting process by a Selection Panel of some 25 investors most active in the hydrogen economy, and were selected from a list of over 100 nominated companies. The criteria for selection was based on the deployment of hydrogen in the value chain, and the growth of investment and revenues.
Adriana van der Linden, Chief Business Development Officer of Fokker Next Gen said: “It was inspiring to attend the pitching sessions run by Tech Tour in Brussels to learn more about the other honorees on this list. Additionally, having the opportunity to share the product and vision of Fokker Next Gen on stage during EU Hydrogen Week was an unforgettable experience. The hydrogen ecosystem is developing at light speed and hearing about innovations from other companies makes us even more hopeful for the future of zero emission aviation.”
The European Hydrogen Tech25 companies cumulatively have raised an impressive €1.73 billion of investment, of which 90% was raised in the past three years.
Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe said: “We are thrilled to convene during the EU Hydrogen Week 2023 and mark, with the European Hydrogen Tech25 List, the significant opportunities that can be unlocked by bringing together private finance and clean hydrogen value chains. Looking ahead to 2050, Europe needs to invest between EUR 1.2 and 2.6 trillion to fully realize the economic and decarbonisation potential of clean hydrogen. Despite substantial public funding, a notable funding gap remains, underscoring the pivotal role of private finance. We're delighted to witness equity investors seizing opportunities in the expanding clean hydrogen market, where Europe takes the lead with a vibrant pool of innovative companies, as demonstrated by the achievements of our 25 winners.”
