H2 Forum Berlin, the European Energy Hydrogen Conference, brings decision makers, project developers, policymakers, investors and start-ups from across the hydrogen value chain to Berlin. IPM AG organises the 2027 edition on 10 and 11 March 2027 at ECC Berlin (Estrel Congress Center), with 450 on-site participants and 500 virtual participants at the 2026 edition, the organiser's most recent published figures.
The 2027 theme is ‘Turning vision into action: pioneers, projects, real impact’, a shift from future plans toward real, already implemented hydrogen projects and offtake deals. Three strategic pillars run through both days, per the focus topics page: projects and use cases, strategies and politics, and technologies and innovations.
Day 1, Wednesday 10 March 2027, runs from check-in and exhibition networking at 08:00, the Women in Hydrogen Breakfast at 08:00 to 09:15, Main Stage sessions from 09:30, through to the evening reception with drinks and a buffet from 18:00 to 22:00. Day 2, Thursday 11 March, opens with check-in at 08:00, Main Stage sessions from 09:00 to 12:40, then a farewell lunch to 14:10, per the 2027 agenda.
Main Stage sessions include panels on EU offtake guarantees, the global hydrogen race, and building the hydrogen backbone of pipelines, ports and storage, alongside three parallel Deep Dive rooms and workshops on hydrogen carriers and municipal utilities. Start-up Pitches run on the Main Stage on day 1. The B2B matchmaking platform, powered by Grip and described by the organiser as award-winning, works before, during and after the event, at matchmaking.grip.events/h2forum2027.
On day 2 you can join the optional excursion to hydrogen site Stoff2, 13:15 to 16:00. It leaves during the farewell lunch (12:40 to 14:10).
H2 Forum Berlin tickets are transferable, and group bookings get a discount: 2 to 3 tickets save 10%, 4 tickets save 20%, and 5 or more tickets get a discount on request. Media, students, university staff, government representatives and start-ups can ask the organiser for a discounted rate. This guide does not quote 2027 prices: check the organiser's own ticket page for the live price and tier.
H2 Forum Berlin's evening reception on day 1, Wednesday 10 March, runs from 18:00 to 22:00. Habyt Berlin Waterfront has fully equipped kitchens, so Thursday morning starts with coffee and breakfast in, not a rushed search for a café before the 08:00 check-in at ECC Berlin (Estrel Congress Center).
Start-up Pitches return to the Main Stage on day 1 of H2 Forum Berlin, per the 2027 agenda. Use the leisure areas at Habyt Berlin Waterfront the evening before to run through your pitch, away from the exhibition floor.
Plan about 15 to 20 minutes door to door: walk 7 minutes to Ostkreuz, take the S41 (Ringbahn) one stop, direct, to Sonnenallee, then walk about 4 minutes to ECC Berlin (Estrel Congress Center). A live BVG journey planner query on 30 September 2026 confirmed the route with no line change. The organiser's travel information puts the venue a 5-minute walk from S Sonnenallee. Check S-Bahn Berlin for live departures on the day.
