Prepare for an electrifying week of innovation, teamwork, and engineering brilliance! The H2GP Foundation is thrilled to announce that the prestigious H2GP World Final will take place in Chemnitz, Germany, from August 20th to August 27th, 2025. We welcome Fraunhofer WIU as a scientific cooperation partner. This landmark event promises to showcase the future of renewable energy as the brightest young minds worldwide converge to redefine what's possible in hydrogen technology.

Over 600 Students, One Goal: The H2GP World Championship

Picture this: over 600 students from across the globe, ages 12 through University, each bringing their unique vision and technical expertise, competing for the coveted title of H2GP World Champion. These teams have poured their hearts and minds into designing and building hydrogen-powered race cars that push the boundaries of innovation and creativity.

This isn't just a race—it's a celebration of engineering, teamwork, and sustainability, where every turn of the wheel represents a step toward a cleaner, greener future.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Energy Innovators

Kamil Jelinek, Director of Strategic Partnerships at the H2GP Foundation, couldn't be more excited:

"The H2 Grand Prix World Final will be a global showcase of the world's next generation of renewable energy innovators, designers, and leaders. Witnessing these students work hands-on with hydrogen technologies and present their solutions is nothing short of inspiring. This is where the future of clean energy begins."

D.r Ulrike Beyer, Head of Referenz Fabrik.H2 at Fraunhofer IWU

“Hydrogen presents a unique opportunity to address climate protection, the energy transition, and value creation collectively, thereby intensifying their impact. The foundation for this lies in broad societal acceptance of hydrogen and the development of highly skilled hydrogen experts. Achieving this requires new methods of education and information dissemination. The Hydrogen Grand Prix embodies this innovative form of knowledge and technology transfer, serving as a cornerstone in training the hydrogen experts of tomorrow.’
