PARTNERS & NETWORKS

One Ecosystem, Many Strengths

Politecnico di Torino is a founding partner of the Energy Transition Hub, alongside IIT, and has driven the territory's hydrogen and energy transition research since 2003, when it helped establish HySyLab, the first public-private hydrogen open lab in Italy, and became a founding member of Hydrogen Europe. Within the Hub, Politecnico di Torino contributes its expertise in materials science, electrochemistry, nanotechnology and energy engineering across iENTRANCE, CoSyET and SEASTAR, coordinating the Turin node of the national iENTRANCE research infrastructure together with INRIM focused on the synthesis of nanomaterials for energy and the fabrication, packaging and calibration of devices and sensors for energy production, storage and management.

IIT – Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia is a founding partner of the Energy Transition Hub and, through its Center for Sustainable Future Technologies, brings dedicated research lines and laboratories in Turin, including the PIQUET and CHILAB facilities — to the development of next-generation materials and circular processes for the energy transition. IIT is the lead partner of CoSyET, working alongside Politecnico di Torino and INRIM to bring hydrogen, CO₂ and energy storage technologies from pre-industrial to industrial scale, and co-founded SEASTAR together with Politecnico di Torino and the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) to advance underground hydrogen and CO₂ storage research.

Environment Park hosts the Energy Transition Hub at the heart of Turin, providing over 5,000 m² of laboratories and pilot facilities within its science and technology park dedicated to sustainability. Beyond its role as host, Environment Park connects the Hub to its broader innovation ecosystem, including congress and event spaces, reinforcing Turin's position as a European hub for clean energy innovation.

Industrial Partners

More than 100 industrial partners, from established players such as NEWCLEO, HYSYTECH, LAMICOLOR, NIPPON GASES, FEV and G.D to a growing network of specialised suppliers and technology providers, are part of the Energy Transition Hub's ecosystem. Their participation spans co-financing of infrastructure, collaborative R&D projects, and direct access to pilot lines, testing and scale-up facilities. By bringing real industrial needs from TRL 3 to TRL 6 into the Hub's Innovation Infrastructure, industrial partners help turn validated technologies into market-ready products, closing the loop between research and industrial deployment.
