During the meeting, the cluster's completed and ongoing projects were analyzed in detail. Besides summarizing experiences, a strong emphasis was placed on developing future plans. A key topic was the direction of hydrogen technology development, particularly concerning the production and application of green hydrogen in industrial environments, including the potential within the construction industry. The cluster recognizes the enormous potential of hydrogen in the energy transition and is committed to leading research and development in this segment.
Furthermore, a strong focus was placed on promoting sustainability among member companies. The goal is for environmentally conscious operations to take root not only in theory but also in daily practice, helping to increase companies' competitiveness and reduce environmental impact. In line with this, the cluster aims to take steps on the international stage, for which the aforementioned Eco Asia Expo in Tashkent provides a perfect platform for achieving new goals. Within the framework of cooperation with Uzbek partners, the Sunroad and Innovation Cooperation clusters, established there, are particularly important, as they build a bridge between the economic ties of the two countries.
The discussion also touched upon potential collaborations with leading automotive industry companies, which could open new doors for cluster members within the supply chain. It's especially noteworthy that these partnerships offer significant opportunities for cluster members integrated into automotive supplier networks. Forming targeted partnerships can contribute to the cluster's diversification and the conquest of new markets. The board meeting reaffirmed the Archenerg-Metál Cluster's commitment to continuous innovation, sustainable development, and international expansion, laying the groundwork for the cluster's future successes.
