Building European Resilience
Location: Bimhuis Amsterdam
Time: 10:00-16:00, followed by networking drinks
Hosted by: the H2A Association
On 18 June 2026, the H2A Association will host the fourth edition of its annual symposium in Amsterdam.
Since its inception in 2023, the H2A Symposium has been a barometer of the European and global hydrogen landscape. In 2025, the Symposium addressed the concrete steps needed towards large-scale implementation of hydrogen supply chains. Speakers and panels explored topics ranging from infrastructure readiness and financing models to regulatory frameworks and demand creation, with expert insights from leading voices, such as Amsterdam Alderman Zita Pels, Tarek Helmi (Deloitte), Willemien Terpstra (CEO Gasunie), Ellen Ruhotas (CEO EcoLog), and Michel Heijdra (Director General of the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth).
Over the past year, the global context has shifted. The geopolitical and geo-economic landscape has led to a stronger focus on European strategic autonomy, with renewed emphasis on competitiveness, supply security and industrial resilience. Hydrogen can no longer rely solely on its decarbonisation credentials; it must also demonstrate its role in strengthening Europe’s competitive position and energy independence.
The 2026 Symposium will dive deep into this new reality. Under the title “Hydrogen in a Fast-Changing World: Building European Resilience,” H2A will once again bring public and private leaders to Amsterdam to discuss the latest developments and insights. Speakers and attendees will include senior representatives from European institutions, national governments, industry, infrastructure operators, financial institutions and international producers, and much more.
We therefore invite you to save the 18th of June in your calendar, as it promises to be an exciting and dynamic day at the beautiful Bimhuis Amsterdam location, with ample opportunities to expand your network.
We look forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam!
Date: 18 June 2026
Location: Bimhuis, Amsterdam
Tickets: Free of charge (registration will open shortly)

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:
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!
