Join us for the Belgian Hydrogen Conference 2026 that brings together industry leaders, policymakers, technology innovators and hydrogen regions to explore one central question: How is Belgian expertise helping shape the hydrogen economy,  at home and internationally?

Program

Belgian expertise on the international stage

Leading Belgian players including CMB.TECH, Agfa, John Cockerill, TES Hydrogen, Port of Antwerp-Bruges International and Enabel, among others, will showcase how their expertise and technologies are creating value in international projects and partnerships.

Their stories demonstrate Belgium’s strong position across the global hydrogen value chain.

Connecting hydrogen valleys across borders

Hydrogen development does not stop at national borders.
Representatives from hydrogen valleys in neighbouring regions will join a dedicated panel discussion on how stronger cooperation between Belgian hydrogen valleys and their counterparts can encourage: cross-learning • replication • collaboration • accelerated growth

Belgian Technology Champions

Innovation takes centre stage during our Belgian Technology Champions session.
Pioneering innovators including Bosal, UGent, Beblue, Ionect and UNamur will take the floor to showcase promising Belgian technologies, research and developments that could help shape the next generation of the hydrogen economy.

Spotlight on white hydrogen

The programme will also explore an exciting new development for Belgium: white hydrogen/naturally occurring hydrogen.
Representatives from Minister Crucke’s cabinet and the Belgian geological institute will present the recent Belgian initiative on natural hydrogen exploration, offering insights into its potential, current developments and next steps for Belgium.

The next chapter of Belgium’s hydrogen strategy

Looking ahead, Minister-President Matthias Diependaele and Minister Pierre-Yves Jeholet will present their updated regional hydrogen strategies.
They will outline the priorities and policy frameworks that will guide the next phase of hydrogen development in Belgium.
