Last week the Belgian-Luxemburg-German Chamber of Commerce (AHK debelux) welcomed WaterstofNet’s CEO, Bert De Colvenaer, as a new board member. Earlier that week AHK debelux organized a 3 day trip to Belgium with a delegation of 6 companies, on the topic of 'Green hydrogen in the port and chemical industry’. The aim is to foster strong connections in the field of hydrogen.

The appointment took place during the AHK debelux’ annual general meeting at Duisport, in Duisburg on the 7th of June. Also newly elected to the board of directors were Nina Oewerdieck (CFO Brussels Airlines and Daniela Theisinger (MD Deutsche Telekom Belgium and France). WaterstofNet is keen to promote hydrogen together with AHK debelux and widen its scope.

At WaterstofNet, we are committed to pioneering advancements in hydrogen technology, and this partnership will enable us to further enhance our cross-border initiatives. I look forward to working closely with my fellow board members to drive innovation and sustainability in our shared energy future."
