UEMF at the World Power-to-X Summit: Green Hydrogen and Innovation

In the context of the World Power-to-X Summit, Prof. Tijani Bounahmidi, Vice-President in Charge of the Fez Smart Factory and Prof. Othmane Benmoussa, Advisor to the President in charge of Accreditations and International Relations and Director of the Euromed Polytechnic School, represented the University at this international gathering held in Marrakech on October 8 and 9, 2024.

The UEMF-HACE Side Event, organized alongside the Summit on October 9, 2024, brought together renowned experts, policymakers and industry stakeholders to discuss the latest advances in green hydrogen technologies. This event offered a unique platform to explore future prospects and challenges related to this rapidly growing sector, with particular emphasis on optimizing the value chain and technological innovations.

Professors Tijani Bounahmidi and Othmane Benmoussa, alongside our national and international university and industry partners of the HVM (Marine Green Hydrogen) Consortium, including Dr. Jean-Luc Stanek, Prof. Jean-Luc Barou, Prof. Joël Jacquet and Mr. Michel Delpon, participated in various sessions on the value chain of an innovative ecosystem for marine green hydrogen and in group discussions on global green H2 trends and their positive externalities, bringing their expertise in energy technologies and sustainable solutions for the production and distribution of decarbonized energy.

The participation of our professors Issa N’Diaye, Abdelkrim El Kadib, Othmane Benmoussa and Tijani Bounahmidi not only showcased UEMF’s expertise in sustainable development and innovation, but also helped forge promising partnerships with industrial players and international researchers present during the B2B meetings organized on that occasion. These interactions pave the way for fruitful collaborations within industrializable projects aimed at developing technological solutions for accessible and efficient green hydrogen.
