Marie-Eve Reinert

I joined SEZ (www.steinbeis-europa.de) in 2017, and I’m leading the team "Hydrogen for Transport and Energy" (6 collaborators, portfolio of 10 EU funded projects)

I’m supporting SMEs & start-ups as well as corporates & regional authorities for designing, financing and implementing collaborative innovative projects in the field of hydrogen. My focus is on European funding, business models, intellectual property, commercial strategy, and hydrogen projects at regional scale.

I’m contributing to European Projects funded by the FCH JU (www.cosmhyc.eu, www.innbalance-fch-project.eu, www.fchgo.eu). I’m in charge of administrative and financial management as well as of communication, dissemination and exploitation, incl. IPR.

I’m involved in EIFHYTEC (www.eifhytec.com), a French start-up developing the most innovative hydrogen compressor technology. I’m supporting the CEO in acquiring public funding and in setting-up the financial strategy.

Before discovering the H2 sector, I worked as a research engineer at EDF in France, and at EIFER (European Institute For Energy Research, Karlsruhe, Germany). I oversaw projects on environmental economics, biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Long time ago I studied chemical engineering and graduated from the Institute for Fluid Mechanics, University of Strasbourg, France.

And, by the way, I’m French and I’m living in Germany for 15 years. I love international environment!
