Why a supportership status?
A substantial part of the NEW-IG’s activities relate to developing the annual Calls for Projects organised by the JTI. Because of this privileged position as partner of the European Institutions, the NEW-IG also is a key interlocutor for FCH-related strategies in general. NEW-IG further serves as an important source of information in all FCH-related issues.
It is for organisations that have a clear interest in the fuel cells and hydrogen technology, but which cannot or do not wish to participate in the Calls (e.g. trade associations, non-European companies, etc) that we created the supportership status. Although not enjoying the privileges of a full membership, Supporters will still be able to access and share information as well as participate in all NEW-IG events as an observer.

- The Industry Grouping has an extensive information service, which provides the members with valuable insight into what is happening in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry and market
