And the Winner Is: H2ALL!

We can still hardly believe it. Last night at the final of the C³ Campus Competition Cologne, our name was called – and the whole room cheered with us. An evening full of energy, strong pitches and a real sense of momentum. And right in the middle of it: us. June 1, 2025

C³ Campus Competition Cologne 2025

1st place: H2ALL

Investment offer €200,000* · InnoDom Cologne

A €200,000 investment offer. After the EXIST grant, this is the next big step – and a clear signal that the idea behind H2ALL is in the right place at the right time. Hydrogen projects fail far too often because of bureaucracy and a lack of planning certainty. We are changing that.
