Boston, MA – October 7, 2022 – Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc.

Advent Senior Vice President of Corporate Business Development, Dr. Nora Gourdoupi, and Advent Director of Operations and Legal for Europe, Antigoni Vafeidou, welcomed Minister Hatzidakis to the Company’s state-of-the-art facilities focusing on the research and production of membranes, electrodes, and Membrane Electrode Assemblies.

During an instructive discussion, Dr. Gourdoupi and Ms. Vafeidou shared the next steps towards the implementation of the Green HiPo Project (“Green HiPo”) under the framework of the Important Projects of Common European Interest (“IPCEI”) Hydrogen – Technology and highlighted the Company’s intention to create approximately 630 direct jobs for qualified scientific and technical personnel and up to 4,620 indirect jobs over a period of six years. Green HiPo is expected to be based in Western Macedonia, Greece, and involves the development, design, and manufacture of high-temperature proton exchange membrane (“HT-PEM”) fuel cells and electrolysers for the production of power and green hydrogen respectively.



At the same time, Dr. Gourdoupi presented to Minister Hatzidakis the environmental benefits and the multiple applications – addressing both large and small energy needs – of Advent’s wide range of innovative fuel cell products. During the visit, Minister Hatzidakis was also informed about the Company’s history in the Greek market, which was founded in 2006 with a shared vision for a world with clean, safe, sustainable and affordable energy. Dr. Gourdoupi also provided an overview of the key achievements that the Company accomplished after its NASDAQ listing in February 2021 and shared details about the solid intellectual property portfolio it has developed, with more than 150 patents issued, pending, and/or licensed.

It was a great opportunity to present the Company’s ambitious plans in Greece and share Advent’s commitment to continue investing in the domestic research and scientific community through a new state-of-the-art facility that will be home to the production and research activities for innovative fuel cells and electrolyser systems, which will significantly contribute to Western Macedonia’s economic development. We are confident that Green HiPo can be the starting point for new private investments and become a beacon of attraction for Greek scientists and specialized professionals who work abroad and want to further develop their careers by returning to Greece.”
