- Evaluation Underway: As a prerequisite for unlocking the State Aid funding for Green HiPo, the Hellenic Ministry of Development and Investment has commissioned a high-level review of the Green HiPo IPCEI project as previously ratified by the European Union. It is expected that this review will take approximately 6-8 weeks, during which time systems and processes will be assessed in order to ensure full transparency and accountability for the effective implementation of the Green HiPo IPCEI project.
- Recruitment Process and Hiring of Key Professionals: Advent has begun the process of identifying and hiring key professionals – scientists, engineers, and managers who will play integral roles at the new state-of-the-art facility in Kozani. These talented individuals will drive critical functions such as research and development, first industrial deployment, and supply chain management. Their expertise will be instrumental in the development, design, and manufacture of innovative high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems and electrolyser systems. Advent’s careful selection process ensures that top-tier talent is recruited to support the successful execution of the Green HiPo IPCEI project, thereby ensuring the project’s success and innovation.
