International R&D Contract: French Partners Engage Science Park “Kyivska Politekhnika” for Hydrogen Technology Development

Science Park “Kyivska Politekhnika” hosted an important working meeting with representatives of a French industrial company. The international partners approached the Science Park and scientists of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI) with a proposal for large-scale technological cooperation in the field of hydrogen energy.The core of the upcoming project involves engaging Ukrainian engineers and scientists as primary developers. The French side provides the technical specifications, while the task of the Science Park will be to conduct comprehensive research, build a functional industrial prototype, and develop the technology for its subsequent mass manufacturing (scaling).The joint roadmap for cooperation will include three key phases:Research & Development (R&D) Phase: Deep analysis of raw data and conceptual engineering of hydrogen systems based in KPI’s scientific laboratories.Industrial Prototyping: Creation and rigorous testing of the first physical industrial model to meet strict European standards for safety and efficiency.Preparation for Scaling: Development of full engineering and manufacturing documentation required to launch the mass production of the newly developed product.”This project demonstrates the high confidence of the European market in KPI’s engineering expertise. Our French partners came to us not just for theoretical consultations, but for a tangible engineering result—an industrial model ready for production. The Science Park is fully equipped to deliver the entire lifecycle: from initial laboratory tests to delivering the technology needed for mass scaling,” noted Oleh Vostrykh, CEO of the Science Park.Following the negotiations, the parties have begun detailed processing of the technical specifications and finalizing the legal parameters of the upcoming contract.Stay tuned for updates on our website to be the first to know about the milestones of this and other international engineering projects at the Science Park!
