Atawey Joins Dutch Hydrogen Ecosystem with International Office in Eindhoven
The French hydrogen refueling specialist marks its expansion to the Netherlands with a signing at the World Hydrogen Summit
Atawey, a major player in hydrogen refueling stations across Europe, has expanded to the Netherlands with an international office in Eindhoven. The French company marked its expansion with an official signing on May 21, 2025, at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam. By setting up a presence in the Dutch hydrogen ecosystem, Atawey is well-positioned to pursue new partnerships, grow its business in key European markets and accelerate the energy transition.
“The opening of our office in the Benelux region represents much more than a new location: it’s a strategic milestone to enhance our proximity to clients and partners,” said Geoffroy Ville, Atawey’s International Business Development Manager.
“By building local partnerships, we offer tailored solutions supported by expert, responsive local teams to ensure maximum customer service quality and equipment availability. This development accelerates our international growth and reinforces our commitment to supporting our clients with enhanced expertise and agility, right at the heart of their markets,” he added.
Tapping into the Dutch hydrogen ecosystem
The opportunity for Atawey to immerse itself in the thriving Dutch hydrogen ecosystem was a key reason for its expansion. With the capacity to produce 80 hydrogen refueling stations per year, Atawey needs a place to propel its growth by targeting regions where hydrogen-powered mobility is gaining momentum. The Netherlands meets those requirements.
The Dutch hydrogen market has much to offer a company like Atawey, enabling it to develop multiple hydrogen projects in one interconnected ecosystem. There are several factors that make this possible: the Netherlands’ policy framework, forward-thinking energy goals and focus on international collaboration play a major role. Moreover, hydrogen players can take advantage of powerful Dutch subsidies like the hydrogen mobility-focused SWIM program. Then there’s the Netherlands’ advanced infrastructure, linked with the European Hydrogen Backbone.
In turn, Atawey is poised to make valuable contributions to the Dutch ecosystem. The company’s hydrogen fueling stations can strengthen critical infrastructure that supports sustainable transportation. In doing so, Atawey can help further integrate low-carbon hydrogen for the transport sector, enhance energy security and promote economic growth. These shared benefits strengthen the Netherlands’ position as a leader in the global transition to clean energy.
Talent: An important factor
Along with its interest in collaborating with the Dutch ecosystem, Atawey saw the Netherlands’ talent pool as another vital reason to land in Eindhoven. The company aims to work with local experts in the hydrogen sector who can perform in-depth analyses of regulatory landscapes and ensure its stations adapt to specific technical standards across locations.
Operating in the Brainport region gives Atawey access to abundant local talent to support these endeavors. It ensures the company can find the right personnel for its operations – people equipped with hydrogen knowledge and skills thanks to their training at world-class Dutch universities.
