Our founding story at HTM – from research to practice

10. April 2025

🎉 Many thanks to HIGHEST – Innovation and Start-up Centre of TU Darmstadt and to Heike Jüngst for the great presentation of our start-up story!

What began as a project at the Technical University of Darmstadt has developed into an ambitious start-up with real pilot applications – including at Hamburg Airport. We are proud of the path we have already travelled and are looking forward to what lies ahead.

🚀 From the university to the job site

HTM – Hydro Technology Motors stands for innovative, emission-free energy solutions based on hydrogen. The journey from idea to marketable technology was intensive – but above all characterised by great partnerships and a lot of pioneering spirit.
