Earlier this month, we were delighted to participate in the Hydrogen Supply Chain Workshop, hosted by WMG, University of Warwick’s Supply Chain Research Group, as part of HI-ACT. 🤝 Led by Alok Choudhary, Professor of Supply Chain Management at the University of Warwick, the workshop brought together over 30 businesses and policymakers for a dynamic day of knowledge-sharing and collaboration. 🟢 Maria Felice, Industrial Liaison Manager at High Value Manufacturing Catapult, also represented the Hydrogen Innovation Initiative (HII) in a panel discussion on hydrogen readiness and challenges in the UK. She emphasised the huge opportunity in the global hydrogen technology market which the UK must work now to seize. ⛓️ David Wimpenny, Chief Technologist at MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre, gave a presentation on the HII Supply Chain Development work, supporting SMEs who are new to the hydrogen economy by demonstrating the opportunities available and facilitating collaboration.
