On 24 September 2025, NAHV was featured at the H2Talk webinar “Hydrogen in the next MFF: from the Lab to Market through Coordinated Funding and Governance.”
The discussion focused on how the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF 2028–2034) could create a continuous pipeline from laboratory to market for hydrogen technologies, connecting research and innovation (FP10) with deployment and industrial scale-up through the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) and its Clean Transition window. The session also examined the new Competitiveness Coordination Tool (CCT), a governance mechanism designed to better align EU and national investments.
Aleksander Gerbec, Founder & CEO of ECUBES, took part in the panel alongside Jens Geier (MEP), Beatrice Coda (European Commission DG RTD), Salvatore Amico Roxas (DG GROW), and Christian Urgeghe (CTO De Nora), with moderation by Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe.
Panellists addressed the investment challenge — the EU will need €1 trillion in hydrogen investment by 2040, with a €200 billion funding gap already identified for the next MFF period — and pointed to the need for improved coordination, faster permitting, and better governance to turn ambition into deployment.
