“Valley of Death„

• Denmark has a strong national Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells and strong national strategies. For the

moment focus at deployment is important.

• We all have the challenge of getting fast to market. The markets are huge, and there will be

plenty of room for many different industrial stakeholders.

So let’s collaborate, - with openness, trust and mutual respect
