The Hydrogen Ecosystem North Adriatic is organising the "HE Access to Finance" event, taking place on 16 April 2026 in Zagreb, at ZICER.
This full-day event will bring together three key initiatives in the Hydrogen sector — NAHV, NACHIP, and NASCHA — to present their achievements, explore funding opportunities, and foster collaboration across the North Adriatic Hydrogen Ecosystem.
Participants will gain direct insights into EU funding instruments, cascade financing opportunities, and upcoming Open Calls, while also engaging in networking and matchmaking activities with key stakeholders. In the afternoon, the participants will have the opportunity to join a site visit to the company Patria Composite (Samobor), a manufacturer specializing in Type IV pressure vessels for Hydrogen and CNG.
This event is designed for:
- Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Croatia and the wider North Adriatic region (including Slovenia and the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia)
- SMEs interested in applying to NACHIP and NASCHA Open Calls and cascade funding opportunities
- Startups, innovators, and newcomers exploring entry into hydrogen value chains
- Universities, research institutes, and other relevant stakeholders engaged in hydrogen and green transition activities
Fabrizia Salvi from Area Science Park will present NASCHA and its pilots.
