H2BA Collaboration Labs
The Green Hydrogen Business Alliance is committed to improving the framework conditions for a sustainable hydrogen and PtX market in partner countries. Therefore, it launched the Collaboration Labs (CoLab), a solution finding process that tackles specific market obstacles with solutions that benefit the private sector and the local population simultaneously.
The CoLab Format
The H2-CoLabs approach involves a series of workshops with a carefully selected group of participating companies and further relevant stakeholders. The aim is to work on a specific problem and formulate tangible, viable cooperation solutions that benefit the local development and the private sector.
This holistic approach guarantees the involvement of all relevant stakeholders contributing to the identified solution. This includes stakeholders from the private and the public sector as well as the EU and partner countries.
CoLab: Green Hydrogen Skills
The availability of skilled workers at each stage of the green hydrogen value chain is a crucial factor for investment decisions and, thus critical for the growth of green hydrogen industries in developing and emerging countries. However, ensuring that the required workforce will be available at the right place and time remains a significant challenge.
The Green Hydrogen Business Alliance therefore invited ten stakeholders from the private and public sectors to jointly explore the existing skills needs and design a solution that will benefit the green hydrogen sector and the partner countries simultaneously.
The first working group meeting took place in July 2024. The second session is planned for 17 September. Are you interested in contributing? Contact us via h2-business-alliance@giz.de.
