ABOUT

As an opportunity for relevant countries and international organizations to align their efforts and enhance collaboration on the promotion of hydrogen utilization on a global scale, this Meeting was first held in Japan in 2018 and marks its seventh occurrence this year. For Japan, this year is a significant moment to accelerate the efforts toward the realization of a hydrogen-powered society, especially with the Hydrogen Society Promotion Act having been enforced in October 2024. In this year’s Meeting, participating countries and organizations will discuss the progress of hydrogen policies in various countries, share insights, and explore possibilities for policy collaboration and international cooperation to stimulate global demand under the theme of "demand creation." Additionally, the Meeting will be held in collaboration with Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, showcasing Japan's technological capabilities toward achieving a hydrogen-powered society.
