Conclusions who are we missing?

• Instigators not in all 27 Member States
  hydrogen and fuel cell associations or platforms
  or ppps exist
• Investors dissemination campaigns for
  national/regional financial sector
• 3. Coordinators successful Urban Hydrogen
  Development is defined by permanently assigned
  local government officials responsible for
  hydrogen and fuel cell integration in relevant
  government strategies (energy, transport,
  climate)
• 4. Promotor European Coordination of local
  activities is becoming urgent as -
  multi-nationals need clear picture of local
  hydrogen and fuel cell commitment- local
  industry needs update on European developments to
  define strategy
• best practice, results of EU and national
  projects, sustainable hydrogen production
  pathways and distribution need to be
  disseminated.
