On the 24th, Highrium Industries, a specialized corporation in ultra-low temperature liquefied hydrogen, announced that it has been selected as a '2025 technology-leading corporation' by the World Economic Forum.
The World Economic Forum is an international organization that hosts the Davos Forum, where major figures from around the world gather to select innovative and socially impactful technology startups each year. This year, 100 corporations were recognized in major fields such as artificial intelligence, space, biotechnology, and clean energy, with Highrium Industries being the sole nominee in the hydrogen sector.
The World Economic Forum noted that Highrium is 'a corporation leading the sustainable energy transition and the future of hydrogen-based mobility,' and remarked that 'its technology integrating liquefied hydrogen transportation across air, sea, and ground is impressive.' Highrium Industries has qualified for official participation in global events hosted by the World Economic Forum, including the Davos Forum, for the next two years starting this year.
Highrium Industries is the first corporation in Korea to commercialize ultra-low temperature technology for storage and transportation of liquefied hydrogen. In the first half of this year, it achieved a supply agreement for a large liquefied hydrogen storage system with domestic industrial gas corporation Airfirst and secured the rights to supply high-performance liquefied hydrogen tanks for the hydrogen boat project at Delft University of Technology.
Highrium Industries is expanding its footprint in the global market, with discussions about entering the European market through collaboration with Delft University of Technology. In October, it will host the 'Korea-France liquefied hydrogen aviation technology workshop,' which will be attended by over 100 aviation and hydrogen experts from Korea and France. Cooperation methods between the two countries will be focused on areas such as hydrogen-based aviation propulsion technology, storage systems, and safety standards.
