"The reason I applied to BMR was the topic of hydrogen. It appealed to me to contribute to the market ramp-up in the hydrogen model region Ruhr Metropolis. I had hoped that I would be able to do this in a great team, but of course I didn't know that. That makes me all the happier to be part of BMR."
