Vietnam has identified hydrogen as a strategic pillar to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors and achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2050. In this context, France stands out as a European frontrunner across the hydrogen value chain, from advanced electrolysis technologies to integrated industrial, mobility, and energy solutions, making it a natural partner to support Vietnam’s hydrogen ambitions.

Organized by CCI France Vietnam, with the support of the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi and the Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club, and in collaboration with Air Liquide and HDF Energy, this workshop will provide strategic insights into Vietnam’s hydrogen roadmap while showcasing French technological expertise and industrial leadership.

Featuring market outlooks, regulatory perspectives, and practical industrial case studies, the event aims to foster bilateral partnerships and accelerate cooperation between Vietnamese and French stakeholders.
