What to Expect at the 3rd AERO Hydrogen + Battery Summit on April 8–9, 2025
For the third time, professionals, renowned international speakers, and the full expertise from science, research and industry will gather on April 8–9, 2025, to discuss hydrogen and battery technologies. Nearly simultaneously, the 31st AERO Friedrichshafen will kick off on April 9–12, marking the largest edition of the international general aviation and business aviation trade fair to date.
The AERO Hydrogen + Battery Summit in Friedrichshafen has become the largest and most renowned of its kind. It’s not just about theory here; practical solutions, will outline paths to the future.
This year, we’ll explore the role of hydrogen, related fields such as batteries, control and regulation technologies, and especially charging and infrastructure for the entire aviation sector.
As a visitor, you’ll also find exhibits and information at the e-flight-expo in Hall A7, the hub for sustainable aviation at AERO 2025. On the AERO Sustainable Aviation Trail, you’ll discover exhibitors and innovations focusing on sustainability across the event, which will span 12 exhibition halls, a static display, two conference centers, and the AERO Business Aviation Dome. The event will conclude with a flying display featuring the latest electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft.
