Marie-Eve Reinert

I am Director of the EGTC Rhine–Alpine Corridor, where I coordinate cooperation among European regions along one of the EU’s most strategic TEN-T transport corridors. My work focuses on strengthening cross-border collaboration and advancing innovative solutions for sustainable, resilient and future-proof transport systems across Europe.

Previously I worked a s consultant and EU project manager where I supported SMEs, start-ups as well as corporates and regional authorities for designing, financing and implementing collaborative innovative projects in the field of hydrogen. My focus was on European funding, business models, intellectual property, commercial strategy, and hydrogen projects at regional scale.

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

I’m also 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 20 years. I love international environment!
