The inaugural Georgia Tech Hydrogen Day convenes senior leaders from industry, government, academia and the Southeast hydrogen ecosystem for two days of events focused on accelerating the commercial adoption of hydrogen.

The program begins Oct. 7 with a Southeast Hydrogen Energy Alliance networking reception at Georgia Tech's Marcus Nanotechnology Building, where executives, researchers, policymakers and technology leaders connect ahead of the next day's discussions.

On Oct. 8, the event starts with the Southeast Hydrogen Roadmapping Forum, which examines the technical, economic, infrastructure and market barriers affecting hydrogen deployment in transportation, ports, rail and heavy industry. Industry leaders identify critical gaps, investment priorities, demonstration opportunities and collaborative actions needed to advance the regional hydrogen economy.

The afternoon program includes a Georgia Tech Hydrogen Day leadership session featuring executives from Georgia Tech, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Hyundai, Southern Company, Plug Power and other leading organizations. The session explores hydrogen's role in industrial competitiveness, energy security, operational efficiency, emissions reduction and economic development across Georgia and the Southeast. 

The day ends with Georgia Tech NARA Hydrogen Research Showcase where attendees get an opportunity to explore hydrogen research at Georgia Tech through lab tours, demonstrations, and conversations with researchers.
