Hydrogen can be stored and transported in large quantities for an unlimited time, making it an important contributor to a renewable energy supply 24/7. To combine knowledge, expertise and reach, ees Europe, Europe's largest and most international exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems, and HYDROGEN DIALOGUE of NürnbergMesse are entering into a strategic partnership.
ees Europe 2025: storage industry meets battery research
Starting in 2026, HYDROGEN DIALOGUE will be held in Munich as an annual side event as part of The smarter E Europe, Europe's largest exhibition alliance for the energy industry. HYDROGEN DIALOGUE will already be represented this year with its own exhibition presence and a block of lectures as part of the Green Hydrogen Forum in Munich. ees Europe is part of The smarter E Europe and will take place from 7 to 9 May. The organisers expect more than 3,000 exhibitors and over 110,000 visitors at Messe München.
Strenghten the position of Bavaria as hydrogen location
This cooperation strengthens Bavaria's position as the leading hydrogen location in Germany and creates the ideal platform for the exchange of expertise, innovations and technologies. In addition to its own presence at the trade fair and a series of lectures at the Green Hydrogen Forum, HYDROGEN DIALOGUE offers thematically guided tours of the fair focusing on ‘Production & Storage of Hydrogen’ and ‘Mobility with H2’.
From 2026, HYDROGEN DIALOGUE will be present at The smarter E Europe in a variety of ways with a wide reach.
• The HYDROGEN DIALOGUE Summit with its high-profile networking format will take place over two days at the International Congress Center Messe München (ICM) parallel to the exhibition.
HYDROGEN DIALOGUE will be prominently represented with a joint stand in the ‘Green Hydrogen Forum & Expo’ exhibition area at ees Europe.
During The smarter E Europe, HYDROGEN DIALOGUE will offer guided tours on the subject of hydrogen, invite international hydrogen delegations to Munich and help shape the specialist programme of the Green Hydrogen Forum.
Organisers see win-win situation
For Sabine Kloos, Exhibition Director of ees Europe, the new partnership is a clear win-win situation: ‘We are very pleased to have NürnbergMesse on board with HYDROGEN DIALOGUE in the future. We have a common goal: we want to help make the vision of a climate-neutral world a reality. Our new partner is contributing its exhibitor and visitor contacts and important partner networks to strengthen and advance the presence of hydrogen as a topic of the future at The smarter E Europe.’

Jasmin Rutka, Exhibition Director of HYDROGEN DIALOGUE, emphasised the strategic aspects: ‘The integration of HYDROGEN DIALOGUE into The smarter E Europe is a strategically sensible development to ensure that our event remains internationally competitive in the long term. The partnership is our response to the current momentum in the hydrogen industry, and together we are strengthening Bavaria's position as an international hydrogen hub. With the existing Green Hydrogen Forum & Expo and the 16,000 hydrogen enthusiasts from The smarter E Europe, as well as our high-profile summit and international network, we are jointly promoting a successful ramp-up of the hydrogen economy.’
