On the afternoon of January 19, 2026, at Hydrogen World Café, the Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club (VAHC), in collaboration with Hydrogen World, organized a thematic roundtable titled “Applications of Hydrogen in Healthcare and Rehabilitation.” The event aimed to introduce scientific research and practical applications of hydrogen in the healthcare sector, with a particular focus on studies and real-world experience originating from Japan.

As part of the workshop “Hydrogen Applications in Healthcare”, held on 19 January 2026 at Hydrogen World Café, 18 Dang Tran Con Street, Ben Thanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Nguyen Thieu Son, representative of Hydrogen World, delivered a presentation entitled “Applications of Hydrogen in Health Care and Recovery”. The presentation approached hydrogen therapy from a biological and wellness-oriented perspective, focusing on oxidative stress and preventive health care.

On 19 January 2026, at Hydrogen World Café, 18 Dang Tran Con Street, Ben Thanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, the workshop entitled “Hydrogen Applications in Healthcare” was jointly organised by the Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club and Hydrogen World. The event served as a forum for scientific and practical exchange on the potential applications of molecular hydrogen in medicine and supportive healthcare in Vietnam.

Following previous exchanges, the Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club (VAHC) and the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam (CCIFV) are working together to move forward with the organisation of a Vietnam–France Hydrogen Workshop in Hanoi, aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in hydrogen, manufacturing, and clean mobility.

The first company, Tao Engineering, introduced its biomass-derived hydrogen production and power generation technology, utilizing plant- and animal-based biomass resources. The system enables hydrogen production and electricity generation with near-zero CO₂ emissions during operation, offering a sustainable and decentralized energy solution suitable for disaster-prone regions and areas with limited infrastructure.

*Ho Chi Minh City, June 18-19, 2026* – The Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club is honored to announce its participation as a speaker at the Automotive Mobility Solutions Conference 2026, a premier annual industry event organized by Messe Frankfurt at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC).
