H2A Symposium 2025 Event Summary
Making the leap
Achieving breakthroughs in hydrogen imports
On 19 June 2025, H2A hosted its third annual Symposium at Theater Amsterdam, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators from across Europe and beyond. Under the theme “Making the Leap,” the event focused on moving beyond feasibility and accelerating the implementation of real-world hydrogen import solutions.
The programme addressed key questions:
- What are the current bottlenecks preventing large-scale hydrogen imports?
- Which solutions are already proving effective across the value chain?
- How can industry and government work together to unlock investment?
Speakers and panels explored topics ranging from infrastructure readiness and financing models to regulatory frameworks and demand creation. With expert insights from public and private leaders, including Alderman Zita Pels, Tarek Helmi (Deloitte), Willemien Terpstra (Gasunie), Ellen Ruhotas (ECOLOG), and Michel Heijdra, this year’s edition continued to push the hydrogen agenda forward.
In honour of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary, the 2025 Symposium featured a new partnership with the University of Amsterdam, adding academic depth and evidence-based insights to the programme. It was a day of open dialogue, practical thinking, and clear commitment to action.
Looking Ahead: H2A Symposium 2026
Following the success of this year’s event, H2A is pleased to announce the fourth edition of the Symposium will take place in June 2026, in Amsterdam.
Next year’s theme will build on the momentum of 2025, with a strong focus on delivering integrated, investable supply chains and scaling up import infrastructure. Once again, the event will bring together leading voices from across the hydrogen ecosystem to share developments, tackle shared challenges, and connect across borders.
Date: June 18, 2026 (tentative)
Location: Amsterdam
Tickets: Free of charge (registration will open early next year)

H2A Symposium 2025
On the 19th of June 2025, Hydrogen to Amsterdam (H2A) organises its third annual symposium. Join us for an insightful and engaging event, full of opportunities to network and to discuss the future of the hydrogen industry:
Making the leap
Achieving breakthroughs in hydrogen imports
How to tackle the identified bottlenecks for the realisation of import supply chains? Which solutions work for an integrated value chain?
Previous editions included such luminaries as Oman’s Minister of Energy and Minerals, H.E. Salim al Aufi, former European Commission stalwart Mr. Diederik Samson and the Dutch Director-General of Climate and Energy, Mr. Michel Heijdra. This year promises many guests of equal stature, making the Symposium the perfect occasion to connect and engage with industry and public leaders to learn more about and share current innovations, challenges and solutions in the realm of clean hydrogen.
The 2025 edition of the H2A Symposium coincides with the celebration of the 750th birthday of Amsterdam. To honour this storied legacy, H2A will team up with the University of Amsterdam, adding a new dimension to the event, which will give delegates access to the latest scientific insights. It promises to be an exciting day, one you do not want to miss!
