At the World Hydrogen Summit, Hydrolite’s membrane tech didn’t just show up – it caught the attention of the industry’s biggest players. Some even asked for a private demo.
Walking into the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, one thing was clear – momentum restarting . Regulators, energy ministers, financiers, developers and engineers weren’t just there to talk. They came to act. For Hydrolite, this year’s summit wasn’t just about presence. It was about making an impact.
Held May 21–23, the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition is widely regarded as the leading global event in the hydrogen sector. Organized by the Sustainable Energy Council (SEC) in partnership with the Government of the Netherlands, it brings together the most influential voices shaping the future of hydrogen.
With more than 15,000 participants, 700 exhibitors, and delegates from over 30 countries, the summit is a key hub for dealmaking, technology showcases, and strategic collaboration driving the hydrogen economy forward.
A Booth That Sparked Conversations
Roy Segev, Director at Hydrolite, returned from Rotterdam with more than a long list of potential partners. He came back with insight – and validation.
“It’s a major event,” Segev said. “All the key players in hydrogen are there. For us, it was a vital opportunity to see how our technology resonates with potential partners and customers – and to gauge the mood of the industry.”
The Hydrolite booth became a focal point. Throughout the exhibition days, executives, strategists, investors, and potential partners gathered around the company’s display. Visitors showed and expressed their strong interest, Segev noted.
Scaling AEM for the Megawatt Era
Hydrolite’s membrane technology drew attention at the conference – particularly for its potential at megawatt scale. As Anion Exchange Membranes (AEM) continue to gain traction across the hydrogen sector, Hydrolite’s solution stood out for its efficiency and scalability.
Among the dozens of leads Hydrolite gathered, many were inbound – industry figures who approached the company unprompted, either familiar with the technology or eager to learn more. These weren’t casual visitors; they were decision-makers exploring real collaboration.
The AEM Momentum
AEM is emerging as one of the most promising pathways for hydrogen water-electrolysis. As the business moves from research and pilot projects to full-scale deployment, interest in next-generation membrane technology increases.
“There’s no competition for the Hydrogen World Summit & Exhibition,” Segev said. “If you’re serious about hydrogen, you’re here. Almost every key global player in green hydrogen production was there.”
The summit wasn’t just about visibility – it was about positioning within the ecosystem. Hydrolite wasn’t just showcasing technology; it was actively contributing to the future of the hydrogen economy. Hydrolite is already working on their booth for the 2026 event.
