On 21 June 2012, the General Assembly of the Industry Grouping for Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (NEW-IG) unanimously re-confirmed Pierre Etienne Franc, Director of Technologies of the Future at Air Liquide, as Chairman and Henri Winand, CEO of Intelligent Energy, as Treasurer of the NEW-IG Board for another two-year period.
This clear sign of trust by the Members, builds on their appreciation of the hard work and dedication of both representatives in the last two years. They asked for Mr Franc and Mr Winand to continue as part of the NEW-IG Board, leading the organisation in setting up long-term support frameworks covering the full innovation-chain up to market-deployment, including the future European FCH programme under Horizon 2020.
