We exhibited at "Hannover Messe 2023" held in Hannover, Germany from April 17th to 21st last month.

Although the event was canceled for two years due to the spread of COVID-19, this is the eighth time we have exhibited, following on from last year.

We exhibited O-rings for high-pressure hydrogen at the Hydrogen/Fuel Cell Pavilion.

Although the booth was small, we were able to communicate with many people and it was a very productive week.

The energy crisis in Europe is serious, and the attention is focused on hydrogen as a renewable energy source.

Nearly 300 companies exhibited in the hydrogen/fuel cell zone in Hall 13 this year, and the interest of visitors was very high.

As I always think, many companies and key persons from Europe gather here in Hannover.

I think that Hannover Messe is a wonderful exhibition as an opportunity to get to know the situation of hydrogen fuel cells in Europe first-hand, which is not easily felt in Japan, and to meet directly with people in the hydrogen industry in Europe.
