World Hydrogen Expo 2026 (H2 MEET 2026)

World Hydrogen Expo (WHE), also known as H2 MEET (H2 Mobility Energy Environment Technology), is a business-focused hydrogen exhibition and conference at KINTEX that the organisers describe as the Asia-Pacific's largest hydrogen industry event. Starting out as the Hydrogen Mobility+ Show, it reaches its 7th edition in 2026 and is being merged with Korea's national Hydrogen Day celebration. The 2026 theme is 'Hydrogen Moves to Market: Making Bankable Projects Work'.
