WORLD HYDROGEN EXPO 2025: THE WORLD’S LARGEST HYDROGEN INDUSTRY EVENT DEBUTS THIS DECEMBER

  • WORLD HYDROGEN EXPO 2025 will take place from Wednesday, December 4 to Sunday, December 7 at KINTEX.
  • The event will showcase a full program, including H2 MEET, the world’s largest hydrogen exhibition, and the WHE 2025 Conference featuring global industry leaders.
  • The scale and stature of the event will be given greater international weight through coordination with the Hydrogen Council CEO Summit, a global coalition of hydrogen companies.

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The WORLD HYDROGEN EXPO 2025 (“WHE 2025”), set to become the world’s largest hydrogen industry exhibition, will be held for four days from Wednesday, December 4, to Sunday, December 7, at KINTEX in Seoul, Korea.

The WHE 2025 Organizing Committee (the “Committee”) announced that it is integrating South Korea’s leading hydrogen industry exhibition, H2 MEET, held annually since 2020, with the nation’s largest hydrogen international conference, which took place last year on Hydrogen Day (November 2), under the unified global name World Hydrogen Expo, beginning this year.

  • Co-Chairmen of the Organizing Committee: Kang Nam-hoon, Chairman of the Korea Automobile & Mobility Association, and Kim Jae-hong, Chairman of the Korea Hydrogen Alliance.

As WHE 2025 launches as an integrated platform encompassing both an exhibition and a conference, the Committee aims to establish the foundation for South Korea’s emergence as a global hydrogen hub by providing a forum where global hydrogen industry companies and key leaders gather to share and discuss the importance of developing the hydrogen economy and strengthening global cooperation.

H2 MEET, which will be held from December 4 to 7 (four days) in KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 (Halls 7 and 8), is the flagship exhibition for the hydrogen industry, featuring companies, institutions, and organizations across the hydrogen production, storage/transport, and utilization sectors, and has been held annually since its first edition in 2020. Last year, the event was recognized as a world-class exhibition, drawing more than 320 companies from 24 countries and over 30,000 visitors. This year, the exhibition will extend through the weekend, giving general visitors a rare opportunity to experience hydrogen technologies firsthand.

From December 4 to 5 (two days), the newly reorganized WHE 2025 Conference, which updates the existing hydrogen conference, will be conducted across three distinct sessions.

The Leadership Address session will feature high-level government officials from key countries, including South Korea, Japan, Germany, the United States, Australia, and Malaysia, who will share global policy priorities as they present their national strategies for the transition to clean hydrogen.

In the Hydrogen Deep Dive session, world-leading companies and industry experts will deliver in-depth presentations and discussions on key issues such as the hydrogen supply chain, technology commercialization, international standards and outline practical solutions.

The Country Day session will consist of technical seminars hosted by the national pavilions of participating countries, focusing on each country’s hydrogen industry policies and technology trends.

In addition to the exhibition and conference, several side events will be held concurrently during the event period.

The Global Partnership Meeting for the Hydrogen Industry (December 4–7), co-organized by the Committee and KOTRA, will support business matching between domestic hydrogen companies and global buyers to facilitate the international expansion of South Korean firms during the event.

The 6th Korea–Germany Hydrogen Conference (December 3) is expected to feature technical exchange between experts from both countries across five major sectors: hydrogen policy, production, storage, utilization, and safety.

Furthermore, the 8th General Assembly (December 5) of the Global Hydrogen Industrial Associations Alliance (GHIAA*), involving hydrogen organizations from 26 countries, is expected to serve as an important milestone in strengthening South Korea’s role as a hub for global hydrogen cooperation.

  • GHIAA: The Global Hydrogen Industrial Associations Alliance (GHIAA) is an international coalition founded to promote the transition to a clean hydrogen economy and global cooperation and currently includes 26 member countries.

The event is also being scheduled in December to align with the Hydrogen Council CEO Summit (December 2–4), where leaders of global hydrogen companies will convene, and the participating hydrogen company leaders will engage with domestic companies and organizations across the event lineup, including the opening ceremony, exhibition, conference, and business meetings.

  • Hydrogen Council: A consortium composed of more than 150 global hydrogen companies.

Kang Nam-hoon, Chairman of the WHE Organizing Committee, stated, “As we prepare for this event under the new name World Hydrogen Expo, aiming for it to become the world’s premier and largest hydrogen exhibition, we are working to attract top-tier speakers, senior government officials from around the world, and leading global hydrogen companies,” adding, “We will strive for a successful event that can offer a clear overview of global hydrogen industry trends and contribute to strengthening the foundation for global cooperation across the entire industry.” More detailed information is available on the official website (www.world-hydrogen-expo.com).

Evnex launches Australia’s first home EV charger with ‘grid now, solar later’ flexibility

Built for cost-conscious EV drivers using grid energy today, with an easy software upgrade path if they add solar later

SYDNEY, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Smart EV charger manufacturer Evnex has today launched the E2 Flex – the most affordable charger in the range, and Australia’s first home charger built for grid use now, with no extra hardware needed to enable solar later.

Ed Harvey CEO Evnex Launches New Upgradeable E2 Flex
Ed Harvey CEO Evnex Launches New Upgradeable E2 Flex

With around two thirds of Australian households still without rooftop solar (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water), the E2 Flex lets users start with grid power now and roll in solar integration later via a simple software upgrade.

Combining both immediate affordability and long-term flexibility, the E2 Flex is Evnex’s most affordable smart home charger, designed to help households cut costs without losing access to key smart features. 

New Evnex E2 Flex EV Charger

Evnex CEO Ed Harvey says the E2 Flex was designed for Australians seeking quality and value, with introductory pricing of just $649 for a limited time.

“Many EV owners want to start with simple, safe, cost-effective home charging that gets them to a full battery fast,” said Harvey.

“The E2 Flex meets those needs perfectly: it charges up to four times faster than a standard wall socket, has built-in home overload protection, and enables smart off-peak scheduling, all at a more sensible price than comparable smart chargers.”

“Flexibility is in the name,” Harvey said. “Users can start simple, and if they install solar later, the upgrade is seamless.”

Unlike many entry-level EV chargers on the market, the E2 Flex includes built-in home overload protection. This safety feature monitors household electricity demand and automatically slows or pauses charging if the system detects risk of overloading. As more homeowners default to lower-cost options that often lack this safeguard, the E2 Flex, and all Evnex chargers, offer peace of mind that their home is protected.

The new E2 Flex comes ahead of the Federal Government’s new Solar Sharer program, rolling out from July 2026. The program gives eligible homes in NSW, SE Queensland, and SA three hours of free electricity during the day. With its higher power output, the E2 Flex helps EV drivers take full advantage of this – fitting more charging into those free hours than standard chargers.

Combined with smart scheduling, the E2 Flex smart charger ensures charging aligns with the Solar Sharer free hours of electricity, even without rooftop solar. For households with solar, the E2 Core and E2 Plus take it further, enabling solar-smart charging that maximises excess generation to extend free charging well beyond the three-hour window.

New Zealand-made and supported locally, the E2 Flex includes a four-year residential warranty and expert local customer support. It is compatible with all major EV brands and can be installed by any licensed electrician, with Evnex also offering fully installed options through its installer network.

Chris Keenan, General Manager of Smillie Electrical, says, “We’ve observed that many customers are turning to cheaper chargers due to the tough economic conditions in Australia without fully understanding the importance of key features such as home overload protection, choosing price over safety.”

The E2 Flex is available now across Australia via Evnex.com.au, with Evnex certified installation options available nationwide.

Kingdee is ranked in IDC’s Asia-Pacific AI-ERP MarketScape

BANGKOK, Nov. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — International Data Corporation (IDC) has recently released its report titled IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) AI-Enabled Midmarket Segment ERP 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment. Ailit’s parent company, Kingdee Group, was included in the assessment for its innovative AI capabilities and market strategy; other vendors referenced in the report include Odoo, Zoho, and Sage.

As Kingdee’s flagship product for the SME market, Ailit provides cloud-based intelligent inventory and invoice software for SMEs with per-account multilingual settings (Chinese, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai, Arabic, etc.), multi-currency one-click switching (supporting over 150 currencies), and robust multi-tax compliance. As of November 2025, Ailit is now used in 130 countries and regions, serving more than 3.2 million merchants.

Ailit’s strengths in cross-border operations, granular access controls, and flexible document and printing templates enable it to meet diverse local requirements and adapt to different business environments, gaining rapid traction in Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East. For example, a Mixue (Mìxuě Bīngchéng) franchisee in Bangkok operates four stores with sixteen employees and uses Ailit’s multi-store and staff management, per-account multilingual experience (Chinese for the owner/Thai for staff), and real-time inventor y synchronization to improve raw-material control and cross-location oversight.

Customer data validates Ailit’s competitiveness: 118,000+ weekly active merchants, an 82.6% renewal rate, and 48.6% of new customers coming from referrals. This high retention stems from Ailit’s precise focus on SME pain points—barcode scanning that auto-recognizes product information; language flexibility so owners and frontline staff can operate in different languages; and interconnected data across stores and warehouses, enabling one-click allocation and shared product and customer records. Its design philosophy—”as simple as using WhatsApp”—helps non-technical users get started quickly.

On the AI innovation front, Ailit launched its AI invoicing module in 2023 and, in October 2025, introduced its AI-powered POS with three major enhancements: Lightning Invoicing; Business Advisor, which predicts break-even points and generates actionable marketing campaigns; and Inventory Master, which supports multi-tier pricing and real-time stock alerts.

“The team is actively bringing Kingdee’s AI capabilities to international markets to help small businesses enhance operational efficiency,” said the Head of International Business at Ailit. “Our vision is to become the digital assistant for SMEs worldwide—helping more small businesses grow into larger ones.”

About Ailit

Ailit is a SaaS-based cloud inventory management product, designed for small and micro merchants to meet the diverse needs of wholesale and retail operations. It is one of the key products under Kingdee Group, a Hong Kong-listed company and a leading SaaS provider in China and the Asia-Pacific region.
