Dr. Nicolas Brahy

General counsel, public affairs and ESG Director

“I began my career as an academic focussed on law, innovation, and public finance. In 2009 I caught the hydrogen bug when I helped launch the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, an EU public-private partnership that funded most European hydrogen R&D. I concluded in 2016 that it was time to put hydrogen at the core of public policies and corporate strategies, then spent five years co-developing Hydrogen Europe, the influential European hydrogen industry association. Now that the major role of hydrogen is acknowledged, the logical next step is to bring private investors and create a new asset class. Hence, I co-founded FiveT Hydrogen. For me, it is the ideal place to participate at the intersection of hydrogen finance, regulation, and technology.”
