From Finland's first hydrogen refuelling station to heavy-duty transport corridors: Meet Central Finland's hydrogen ecosystem! Jyväskylä region in Finland is building a living test environment where hydrogen infrastructure, mobility, RDI and business development meet.

The event will discuss how European cities and regions can move from hydrogen strategies to real deployment – and how we can build stronger interregional partnerships to accelerate this transition.

The event is hosted by the City of Jyväskylä & H2 Innovation Alliance and it is taking place during the European Hydrogen Week 2026 in Brussels
