Let’s take a look back into the past

From H2UB BOOTCAMP to H2UB TARGET

Our former 3-week early stage start-up program BOOTCAMP featured 16 start-ups, combined with feedback from our corporate and start-up ecosystem in four batches.

It took place from 2022-2024 and brought a variety of early stage start-ups and future founders together in Essen to catalyze revolutionary ideas into viable business ventures.

We were joined by teams from across Europe, representing the entire hydrogen value chain from production to storage, as well as mobility and digital solutions.

Participants were able to benefit from mentoring, workshops and community events while having access to our workspace. During the program, topics such as finding investors, prototyping and sustainability were discussed. Each BOOTCAMP concluded with our Community Pitch event.

With our TARGET program, we have taken the lessons learned from BOOTCAMP and applied them to maximize the value of our new program.
