Ensuring that there will be enough energy sources, that the energy supply will be available, stabil and in accordance with sustainibility and climate protection concept is nowadays one of the main imperatives. One of the solutions for that is hydrogen, which could become not only an essential fuel but also an energy carrier in transport, industry and households in the near future.
Hydrogen technologies are now at their start of their mass use, aiming for the transnational and global scale. The purpose of the Czech-German Innovation Festival is to support the Czech-German hydrogen cooperation, to connect individual actors and to identify opportunities as well as weaknesses of this branch.

The 6th CGIF is organised by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Berlin, the Czech Centre Berlin and CzechInvest.
