Event overview
Foresight Hydrogen Live 2027 brings the UK hydrogen value chain to Liverpool's Titanic Hotel on 3-4 February 2027.
The two-day conference and exhibition connects hydrogen producers, off-takers, infrastructure developers, investors and policymakers working on production, mobility and regional growth.
Delegates can attend conference sessions, meet exhibitors in the Rum Warehouse and join the evening networking reception.
TL;DR
Attend to hear project updates across hydrogen production, mobility and regional growth, then meet the developers, equipment suppliers and offtakers in one exhibition hall. The two-day format and evening reception give enough time for several qualified conversations rather than a single keynote.
Exhibit if you sell electrolysers, compression, storage, fuelling, safety systems or engineering services into UK hydrogen projects. The focused audience is small enough for stand conversations to turn into named project leads, and the networking reception adds a second, less formal selling window.

Edition recap
The February 2026 edition brought the hydrogen and wider energy transition market back to the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool for two days of conference sessions, an exhibition and an evening reception.
New this edition
Hydrogen, mobility and regional growth streams
The programme is organised around hydrogen production, hydrogen mobility and regional growth, so delegates can follow a single theme across both days.
SourceImpact
Liverpool's hydrogen economy is moving from strategy into project delivery, with production, storage and industrial offtake decisions being taken across the North West. A focused two-day event gives buyers and suppliers a practical checkpoint before spring procurement cycles.
Audience quality
The audience is senior and project-focused: developers, industrial offtakers, investors, network operators and engineering firms. It is not a mass-market show, so stand traffic is lower but conversations tend to be specific and commercially relevant. Expect a mix of UK cluster players and international technology suppliers.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on qualifying a handful of project conversations rather than collecting badge scans. A 9 sqm stand in the Rum Warehouse plus the evening reception gives two selling windows; exhibitors should pre-book meetings with named developers and offtakers and follow up within 48 hours.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
The UK has committed to hydrogen production and industrial decarbonisation at cluster scale, and the North West is one of the most active delivery regions. Foresight Hydrogen Live concentrates project developers, technology suppliers, offtakers and financiers in Liverpool at the point where supply contracts, infrastructure investment and regional growth plans are being decided.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
From pilot projects to bankable offtake
Hydrogen projects are shifting from feasibility studies to contracts, with developers under pressure to show firm offtake and clear route to financial close.
What it changes: Suppliers that can evidence delivered projects and predictable operating costs are better placed to win work.
Cluster-scale infrastructure
Shared pipelines, storage and port infrastructure are becoming the organising model for UK hydrogen, especially around industrial clusters such as HyNet.
What it changes: Buyers want equipment that integrates with cluster infrastructure rather than stand-alone demonstration units.
Mobility and heavy transport demand
Refuelling for buses, trucks, ports and rail is creating early, bankable demand for hydrogen in regions with concentrated fleets.
What it changes: Mobility projects give technology suppliers a nearer-term revenue path while industrial offtake scales.
Foresight Hydrogen Live sits in a crowded calendar of hydrogen and energy-transition events. Buyers can pair it with a Liverpool energy summit in February and larger European hydrogen gatherings later in the year.
