EyeforFuelCells Europe 2001
The Business of Fuel Cells for Stationary Power

Brussels, 27-28 November

Who will you meet?

First Conferences Ltd events are renowned for their networking opportunities and have fast become the meeting place for entire industries. With such a breadth of representation it really is the place to discuss the full impact of a variety of business strategies and technological breakthroughs and generate the contacts for future partnerships and collaborations.

Power Industry Executives

With RWE CEO Dr. Dietmer recently remarking "We believe that fuel cells have an important role to play for distributed generation of electricity and heat in the energy mix of the future" it's clear that every power company needs to develop a sure fire sustainable energy policy. If you're developing a distributed energy policy for your company, looking at both PEM and SOFC options for generation or managing sustainability in your company then you'll be able to meet with, and learn from your peers in Brussels.

Fuel Cell Manufacturers

Which ever type of FC stack you build you'll be able to demonstrate the business case for your financial models and technology offerings plus hear from the companies that will establish the distribution channels and make markets in Europe. The infrastructure providers will also be here to make their case regarding the Hydrogen economy and of course catalyst and membrane manufacturers will be on show.

Oil and Gas Executives

The Hydrogen economy won't happen overnight but the debate how Fuel Cells will be fuelled still rages on. LNG looks the likely short term winner for stationary applications. Fuelling the future will be big business. Oil and Gas executives will play an important part, not just in this event, but in the development of the European Fuel Cell market.

Component suppliers and System Integrators

Catalyst, membranes, ceramics, reformers and invertors. Developing and then managing the supply chain for any industry is of paramount importance. If you and your company intends to be part of the European supply chain then you should be in Brussels to be part of the debate.

Investment Banks, Venture Capitalists and Fund Managers

Fuel Cells are one of the hot investment opportunities in the energy industry. With most analysts and commentators predicting exponential growth over the next ten years this is the chance to discover which companies will realise their potential. As investors are increasingly looking for the pre IPO opportunity this is your one chance to find it in Europe this year.

Policy makers and Regulators

With increasingly liberal energy markets but tighter controls on emissions, formulating policy at regional and national level is of extreme importance. Dialogue between all parties is essential to form meaningful standards both for safety and emissions. The correct application of European directives is vital at national level, to ensure this is done correctly, you'll want to be in Brussels.

Early End Users

Hospitals, Military, Server Hosts - a constant supply of electricity is paramount to your operations. You'll get all the information not only from suppliers but from colleagues who have already installed Fuel Cell generation capabilities into their operations to ensure you invest in the right system with the right organisation.
