Stop doom-crawling.
Do Better.
We read all 1,000+ exhibitors: listings, websites, and announcements. Each one gets a profile and a score against what you sell. Your team works from one link, before and during the show.
Indexing Hydrogen Technology Expo, Hamburg Oct 20, 2026
Exhibiting costs a fortune. Most of it walks out the door.
A stand at a big hydrogen show costs €15–50K: space, build, travel, three people off their desks for a week. The tools for finding the few companies that make it worth it haven’t changed since 1995: a badge, a hall map, and a directory of a thousand exhibitors describing themselves. So people walk the halls, talk to whoever’s around, and fly home with three weak leads.
From a one-line brief to a scored floor.
You brief us once. We score every exhibitor against what you sell. Your whole team works from one link, before and during the show.
Tell us what you sell
A paragraph, your website, a brochure. One line is fine. We send back a short summary of what we think you sell, and you confirm or correct it in a minute. Scores only start once we’ve got that right.
We read the whole floor
All 1,000+ exhibitors, late additions included, get a structured profile. Each is scored against your offer and given a role: prospect, channel, partner, supplier, competitor. Every score cites their own materials, with source and date.
Work your Better List
One private link for the whole team. The floor ranked into tiers: book a meeting, worth a stop, if passing, or skip. Competitors flagged. Search by tier, role, hall, or country. Export to Excel. Works on a phone in the aisles.
Visiting to buy instead? Brief us on what you need, not what you sell – same product, same price.
Every score explains itself.
Collapsed, a row is one line: tier, fit, company, stand, role, why. Expanded, it shows the full profile and the evidence behind the score – quotes from the exhibitor’s own materials, with source and date. The three sample cards below were scored against the same brief: a seller of 350-bar compression skids.
Nordelys Electrolysis
Builds containerized PEM electrolysis plants for industrial sites. Their announced 100 MW Rotterdam project names no compression partner. Your skids sit exactly in that gap.
“Construction of the 100 MW Rotterdam facility begins in 2027.”nordelys-electrolysis.no/news · Jul 2026
“How are you covering compression on the Rotterdam build?”
Veldt & Sohn Anlagenbau
EPC delivering turnkey hydrogen refuelling stations for municipal fleets across DACH. They don’t buy compression once, they spec it on every project they win. A channel, not a one-off customer.
“We deliver complete HRS projects from permitting to handover.”veldt-sohn.de/leistungen · Jul 2026
“Who supplies compression on your current HRS projects?”
Rheinwerk Gastechnik
Their industrial-gas division ships its own compression – a competitor. Their refuelling joint venture buys turnkey skids it doesn’t build.
“Our HRS joint venture procures compression systems externally.”rheinwerk-gastechnik.de/presse · Jul 2026
“Compression technology from our own production.”rheinwerk-gastechnik.de/produkte · as of Jul 2026
A real buying angle, but partial fit. Worth a stop, not a meeting slot.
Not the show app. Not a chatbot.
“Not the show app’s keyword roulette. Not a chatbot with a pasted list. The whole floor, read deeply and scored for what you sell.”
The show’s app matches keywords and calls it AI – type “compressor” and every booth with the word in its blurb starts requesting meetings. Better reasons about whether each exhibitor would plausibly buy or channel what you sell, and shows you the evidence, so you can check it.
A chatbot with the pasted list gives you a decent top-10 skim. It won’t give you all 1,000+ rows scored, it will miss details and evidence a hydrogen insider can audit. Better delivers it all.
And it’s hydrogen-first, built by people who’ve stood on these stands. Profiles speak PEM vs AEL vs AEM vs SOEC and balance-of-plant, not “cleantech solutions.”
One team. One show. One price.
Until Sep 20 – 30 days before the show opens. After that, list price €990.

Questions teams ask.
Who sees our brief?
Nobody. Your brief and our read of it generate your list and nothing else – never shown to anyone, never pooled. Profiles are built from public materials only, so nothing of yours enters anyone else’s list.
How fresh is the data?
Profiles are built in the final weeks before the show, and every claim shows its source and as-of date. The exhibitor list is re-crawled weekly until show week, so late additions land on your list too.
What about exhibitors with thin or broken websites?
They stay on the list – coverage means everyone. The row is marked thin data, scored on what exists, and never padded. On a 1,000-company floor expect a small tail of them; we flag the gap rather than fill it with guesses.
Do we need accounts, seats, or an app?
No. One private link, in the browser, fast on hall Wi-Fi. Forward it to whoever works the floor with you – everyone sees the same list. Nothing to install at the door.
When should we brief you?
Now beats later. Delivery takes 24 hours, so late still works – but tier-A calendars fill in the weeks before the show. The earlier your team works the list, the more of the floor is still bookable.
How do we pay?
Card checkout via Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. VAT is handled at checkout and you receive a proper invoice. If card doesn’t suit your purchasing process, wire transfer works too – email us for a proforma invoice. €690 per team, per show – the early-bird rate until Sep 20; list price €990 after.
We’re visiting to buy, not exhibiting. Can we brief you?
Yes – same product, same price. Brief us on what you need instead of what you sell, and the same floor comes back ranked by who sells it, with the same evidence.
Can you do a different show?
Hamburg is the floor we’re reading now. The hydrogen circuit is next – Brussels, Paris, Houston, Hannover. Walking something else? Say so in the form; it tells us where to go next.
Are you affiliated with the show?
No. Better Events is independent and not endorsed by any organizer; event names on this page only identify the shows we cover. We read exhibitors’ public materials and never republish anyone’s directory.
What if the list isn’t worth it? Do you refund?
Yes – email us and we refund it.
