Willem-Jeroen Stevens and Laura Medera attending Monaco Hydrogen Alliance Forum 2025.
It was a great pleasure for Willem-Jeroen Stevens and Laura M. joining the Monaco Hydrogen Alliance for the third year in a row. The Forum remains to be a key platform for leaders driving the future of clean hydrogen, investment and industrial innovation.
Laura moderated the session "Corporate Investments: How Can Venture Capital and Banks Fuel the Hydrogen Transition?": a conversation that moved beyond ambition and directly into the fundamentals of investability.
Together with Katsuhiko Hirose, Marc Lavine and David Mazaira, the panel explored what truly determines whether hydrogen projects can scale:
- Bankability continues to hinge on core fundamentals: credible counterparties, revenue visibility and cost predictability.
- Ecosystem design is still a major bottleneck; hubs, anchored offtake and shared infrastructure are essential for scale.
- For investors entering the sector today, the enabling ecosystem offers the most realistic and resilient entry point.
- Time horizons must shift; hydrogen requires long-term alignment between policy, industry and capital.
- And a shared conclusion: real scale will only emerge when demand, regulatory clarity and financial structures move in alignment.
Clear is proud to contribute to discussions that focus on execution, investability and practical pathways for accelerating the energy transition.
