Participating companies will showcase next-generation hydrogen technologies in the fields of hydrogen production, storage and transportation, and utilization. Among major domestic conglomerates, Hyundai Motor Group and Kolon Group will take part in the event.

Hyundai Motor Group will present an integrated vision for the hydrogen business spanning from production to utilization and building a hydrogen ecosystem, with a focus on 'HTWO'—its hydrogen brand and business platform. The group will introduce its technological and business capabilities in hydrogen production through its megawatt (MW)-class polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis technology and the W2H (Waste-to-Hydrogen) circular resource hydrogen production model. Hyundai Motor Group will also present the future of hydrogen mobility through commercial fuel cell systems and mobility solutions for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and railways.

In particular, the company plans to unveil hydrogen business models optimized for national and regional conditions, based on various hydrogen ecosystem development scenarios, including the Saemangeum AI (Artificial Intelligence) Valley.

Affiliates of Kolon Group will exhibit core components of hydrogen systems. Kolon Industries will introduce moisture control devices for fuel cells, polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM), and membrane humidifier housing materials. Kolon Space Works plans to present its 'Total Hydrogen Storage Solution,' which internalizes the full value chain from the carbon fiber intermediate material 'towpreg' to liners, hydrogen storage tanks, and module systems.

Mid-sized, small enterprises, and specialized companies in various sectors will also participate. Automotive body parts specialist Sungwoo Hitech will showcase core components of future mobility, including TYPE 4 hydrogen storage containers and hydrogen storage systems.

The Organizing Committee stated, "This exhibition provides a glimpse into the rapidly evolving technological trends across the entire hydrogen industry value chain," adding, "We will make every effort to generate business opportunities so that the future technologies showcased by companies can come to fruition."
