Global Green Hydrogen Startup Challenge

ISA in partnership with ADB, under the G20 2023 India Presidency has created a virtual ‘Green Hydrogen Innovation Centre’ (https://isa-ghic.org/). This Centre of Excellence will support the production, utilization, and trade of green hydrogen (GH), besides providing a platform for knowledge sharing and building competency across the GH value chain. The GHIC will also provide opportunities to incubate Start-Ups, provide certified training, and host Expert Working Groups to support the scale-up of the GH ecosystem in member countries. The platform was launched at the Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting (ETMM), and subsequently, was included in the G20 Leaders’ Summit Delhi Declaration in September 2023

The objective of the ‘Global Green Hydrogen Startup Challenge’ is to identify and support green hydrogen startups engaged in developing innovative, scalable and commercially viable solutions within the steel and transport sectors. This initiative will serve as a global platform for these start-ups to incubate and grow. The challenge will invite applications from eligible start-ups, and ~20 selected startups will receive seed grants along with strategic acceleration support. Click Here to Know More
