Using examples like the Narvik–Luleå corridor and Sweden’s Hybrit project, speakers will outline the current state of hydrogen projects in the North. Discussions will also address the EU’s hydrogen strategy and how Nordic cooperation can drive innovation and sustainable development.

Panelists from industry, research, and policymaking panelists will discuss challenges such as regulation, infrastructure, and market creation.
