Opportunities in Hydrogen, Offshore Wind & Circular Construction in Japan
Japan is heavily investing in sustainable energy and innovation. With ambitious goals in the fields of hydrogen, offshore wind energy, and circular construction, the country offers unique opportunities for Dutch companies with sustainable solutions.
Key focus areas include:
• Green hydrogen production, storage, and distribution
• Infrastructure and floating technologies for offshore wind
• Circular design and construction using reusable or bio-based materials
• Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) for sustainable energy storage and reuse
• This mission provides the opportunity to explore the Japanese market and connect directly with relevant companies, local stakeholders, and knowledge institutions.
Who should join?
The mission is open to Dutch companies (startups, scale-ups, SMEs) and knowledge institutions active in: --Renewable hydrogen & ammonia
