STRIA’s Role and Key Tasks
STRIA contributes significantly to several core work areas within the project:
- Cross-border data collection and strategic analysis: assessing Austrian and Hungarian national climate and energy strategies with a focus on hydrogen technologies.
- Stakeholder engagement: mobilising its strong regional network to involve local, regional and national actors.
- Innovation and R&D insight: analysing the economic feasibility of hydrogen technologies in the South Transdanubia region.
- Strengthening cooperation: facilitating collaboration between academic and industrial partners to advance cross-border energy innovation.
HySISI represents an important step towards establishing a hydrogen-based energy corridor, supporting long-term energy resilience and innovation capacity in the border region.
The HySISI project is implemented within the framework of the Interreg Austria–Hungary Cooperation Programme 2021–2027, co-financed by the European Union and supported by the Hungarian Government.
