About the sprint

Our 10-week SPRINT accelerator program is designed specifically for Seed and Series A start-ups. The content is challenge-driven and highly individualized. We tailor our program to meet the unique needs of each start-up, focusing on product-market fit, go-to-market strategy, sales and funding. Our program offers both group and 1:1 coaching sessions – not only with dedicated business mentors but also with high-profile industry experts from our network of hydrogen corporates.

To help our start-ups grow together as a group and experience the power of peer-learning, we hold a kick-off, interim meeting and investor pitch presentations on site in Essen. Our goal is to provide start-ups with the guidance and support they need to take their business to the next level – and our program is designed to deliver just that.

Our SPRINTers are the core of the #HYDROVERSE, the H2UB ecosystem. Once the program is over, we continue to deliver support wherever we can to you – through events, intros and matchings with corporates and investors.

Greenlyte, CEO & Co-founder

Joining the H2UB SPRINT program transformed our journey. Over 10 weeks, we received unparalleled support and forged connections with H2 pioneers, corporates and investors. Reconnecting with OGE and TÜV Süd's incredible network and collaborating in a new context after my time at evety (supported by OGE, TÜV Süd and Horvath) was immensely rewarding.

Participating in the H2UB SPRINT was a pivotal moment in our company's development. It led us to a strategic pivot that has significantly accelerated our progress. Since then, we've successfully closed two rounds of funding, thanks in part to the connections we made through H2UB. We highly recommend the program to other young companies and look forward to continue working with H2UB.

The SPRINT meant a significant step for Southern Lights. With the support of H2UB’s network, we accelerated the development of our product, restructured our marketing strategy and visual identity and met our lead VC investor. We are very grateful and proud to keep collaborating with H2UB and their fantastic network of hydrogen experts.

The rapid and agile transfer of established technologies to large-scale production is just as important as the qualification of alternative technologies for a diverse future hydrogen economy. Partnerships between suppliers of proven technologies and high-tech start-ups venturing into new territory bring the necessary momentum to the process of establishing green hydrogen as the energy carrier of the future. Partnerships such as with H2UB are indispensable for strengthening Europe’s competitiveness in the global hydrogen economy.

Green hydrogen has a key role to play in the decarbonisation of industry and the fight against climate change. Now more than ever, we need innovative technologies and an entrepreneurial mindset to bring new solutions to market as quickly as possible. With my background in strategy, I am helping start-ups navigate the ever-changing market environment of this emerging technology to meet customer needs.

Philipp Severich
