The World Hydrogen Expo 2025 (WHE 2025), set to become the world's largest hydrogen industry exhibition, will be held at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province from December 4 to 7.

The WHE 2025 Organizing Committee announced that it will integrate the Hydrogen International Conference, which was held last year during Hydrogen Day (November 2), and the hydrogen industry exhibition "H2MEET," which has been held annually since 2020, under the new name "World Hydrogen Expo" starting this year. The committee is co-chaired by Kim Jaehong, President of the Korea Hydrogen Alliance, and Kang Namhoon, President of the Korea Automobile Mobility Industry Association.

The committee plans for WHE 2025 to launch as an integrated platform encompassing both an exhibition and a conference, providing a venue where global companies and key leaders in the hydrogen industry can gather to share and discuss the importance of hydrogen economy development and global cooperation. The aim is to lay the groundwork for South Korea to establish itself as a global hydrogen hub.

First, H2MEET, which will be held at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 2 from December 4 to 7, is the leading hydrogen industry exhibition featuring companies, institutions, and organizations in the fields of hydrogen production, storage and transportation, and utilization. It has been held annually since its first edition in 2020.

Last year, more than 320 companies from 24 countries and over 30,000 visitors attended the event. This year, the exhibition will also be open on the weekend, providing the general public with the opportunity to directly experience hydrogen technologies.

On December 4 and 5, the WHE 2025 Conference, a revamped version of the previous hydrogen conference, will be held. It will be divided into three sessions: "Leadership Address," "Hydrogen Deep Dive," and "Country Day."

In addition to the exhibition and conference, various side events will also take place during the event period.

The "Hydrogen Industry Global Partnership Business Meeting" (December 4-7), co-hosted by the organizing committee and KOTRA, will support business matching between domestic hydrogen companies and global buyers to facilitate overseas expansion during the event.

The "6th Korea-Germany Hydrogen Conference" (December 3) will feature technical exchanges between experts from both countries in five key areas: hydrogen policy, production, storage, utilization, and safety. The 8th General Assembly of the Global Hydrogen Industry Association Alliance (GHIAA), which includes hydrogen organizations from 26 countries, will also be held on December 5.
