General Assembly 2025 – the test field is gaining momentum

In July, we held our Gene­ral Assem­bly for the third time – the annu­al mee­ting of our clus­ter mem­bers to exch­an­ge ide­as and pre­sent the cur­rent sta­tus of our test field.

On 10 July, the annu­al mee­ting of our Clean Port and Logi­stics Clus­ter took place for the third time – a day full of valuable ide­as, pro­fes­sio­nal exch­an­ge and shared per­spec­ti­ves. This year, the focus was par­ti­cu­lar­ly on inter­nal exch­an­ge bet­ween mem­bers and the cur­rent sta­tus of our test field, which could be view­ed in detail in the second part of the event.

The first part of the event was all about updates: various clus­ter mem­bers pre­sen­ted cur­rent pro­jects, rese­arch results and new approa­ches that con­tri­bu­te to the fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment of our joint pro­ject – the ramp-up of the hydro­gen mar­ket. The diver­si­ty of the con­tri­bu­ti­ons reflec­ted the breadth of exper­ti­se in the clus­ter and also impres­si­ve­ly demons­tra­ted how stron­gly cohe­si­on and the com­mon goal unite all tho­se involved.

The exch­an­ge in the sub­se­quent Inno­va­ti­on Mar­ket was lively and con­s­truc­ti­ve, thanks in part to the pre­sen­ta­ti­ons that had been heard ear­lier – exact­ly what makes such an event so spe­cial. New ide­as for coope­ra­ti­on were born, chal­lenges were open­ly addres­sed and expe­ri­en­ces were shared. It is pre­cis­e­ly this open exch­an­ge that forms the core of our clus­ter work.

After a short break, it was time for the prac­ti­cal part of the day: a tour of the test field. On site, par­ti­ci­pan­ts gai­ned com­pre­hen­si­ve insights into the two pro­to­ty­pes, cur­rent tests and plan­ned expan­si­ons. The oppor­tu­ni­ty to dis­cuss tech­ni­cal details direct­ly with tho­se respon­si­ble was great­ly app­re­cia­ted by the members.

This year’s mee­ting once again demons­tra­ted how valuable per­so­nal exch­an­ge is within the clus­ter. The com­bi­na­ti­on of infor­ma­ti­ve pre­sen­ta­ti­ons and prac­ti­cal insights on site not only streng­thens the net­work, but also crea­tes new impe­tus for joint fur­ther development.

We would like to thank all par­ti­ci­pan­ts and pre­sen­ters – and we are alre­a­dy loo­king for­ward to next year!
