What is the HE Access to Finance?
HE Access to Finance is a stream of meetings that brings together participants of three projects from the territory of North Adriatic: NAHV, NACHIP and NASCHA and related stakeholders.
The aim of the initiative is to engage with all stakeholders and strengthen cooperation among them. The initiative connects project partners, SMEs, public institutions, research organisations, and other interested stakeholders, creating opportunities for collaboration and joint development across Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy and other neighbouring countries.
A key objective of HE Access to Finance is to facilitate the creation of value chains for hydrogen, including partners in them, and promote public and private funding initiatives and financing opportunities, particularly through cascade funding provided by NACHIP and NASCHA and other EU co-funded instruments.
Where and When?
The HE Access to Finance stream began in Zagreb in April 2026, continues in Cres in May 2026, and gathers in autumn 2026.
The main gathering will take place at the annual Hydrogen Ecosystem North Adriatic Conference, taking place in Nova Gorica/Gorizia, 11th – 12th November 2026.
