First organized in 2008 to mark the launch of the FCH JU, the stakeholders’ general assembly is an annual event designed to inform all interested parties about the activities of the FCH JU and acquire feedback for future planning of the program. It is also a key platform for European and global stakeholders across sectors to come together to examine and assess the current position of this emerging industry.

The Stakeholders’ General Assembly 2009 is focused on:

• the progress of the FCH JU after its first year of operation and on forward planning of the research agenda; and
• an analysis of the market, as well as the political developments affecting the commercialisation of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies.
