The H2GP World Final will see the 40 best student-led teams qualify from a program that has recently expanded to over 4,000 students and hundreds of schools. This growth has been made possible by the support of sponsors around the world who see the value of building a future clean energy workforce.  
 

“The H2GP World Final 2023 at RE+ was a huge success and we are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate again”, said Max Accordino, Head of Business Development at Horizon Educational. “Our goal is to prepare young people for future careers and degrees in the renewable energy sector and partnering with RE+ is the right step in bridging the gap between education and employment. We congratulate all the participants and winners of the H2GP World Final 2023 and we look forward to continuing our work with RE+ to inspire the next generation of green leaders.” 
 

RE+ is the largest and fastest growing clean energy trade show in North America, bringing together 40,000+ renewable energy professionals, 1,350+ exhibitors and 8,400+ C-Suite Executives and VPs for four days of networking and educational programs. The event has been a finalist for Trade Show Executive’s “Best New Launch” and is ranked #43 in the publication’s Gold 100 list.
