Greater Manchester is accelerating its clean energy ambitions with a new Hydrogen Supply Chain Innovation Challenge, delivered by GM Business Growth Hub in collaboration with Bosch and Manchester Metropolitan University’s Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre. The programme runs to March 2026 and offers ten local firms exclusive access to Bosch’s hydrogen HQ in Germany-plus workshops, mentoring, and commercial support to compete for UK hydrogen contracts. Bosch, one of Europe’s largest investors in hydrogen, will share real-world insights from production through to automotive systems, helping businesses identify where they fit and build capabilities that translate into market-ready solutions. This collaboration is underpinned by Greater Manchester’s international partnership with Germany’s Ruhr area and aligns with the city-region’s goal to reach net zero by 2038 while building a robust local hydrogen economy. With targeted guidance from Bosch’s engineering teams and support from the Hub, participating companies can sharpen their technical readiness, align with upcoming UK tenders, and contribute to a coherent regional supply chain strategy. Manchester—birthplace of the Industrial Revolution- is positioning itself to lead the next wave in clean tech, turning ambition into tangible opportunity. https://www.businessgrowthhub.com/programmes/gm-hydrogen-supply-chain-innovation-challenge/
