Guide to the skills in demand

The Cluster Fuel Cell BW and the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West are presenting their members and partners in a joint competence guide. The digital and bundled expertise from Baden-Württemberg is now available and provides support in the search for sought-after skills for the transformation of Baden-Württemberg as a business location.

The digital Competence Guide of the two clusters Electric Mobility South-West and Fuel Cell BW offers a comprehensive overview of the market and providers in the fields of vehicles, information and communication technology, production, energy, batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen. The new tool supports the search for the skills required for the transformation in Baden-Württemberg as a business location. Only organizations that belong to one or both cluster initiatives are listed in the Competence Guide. However, use and networking via the Competence Guide is open to all interested parties.

• Which organizations offer training courses on hydrogen? In the 'Field of activity' area, select the filter 'Service educational offers' and select the cluster 'Fuel Cell BW'
• Which machine and plant manufacturers can build hydrogen tanks? To do this, select the filter 'Mechanical and plant engineering' under 'Further options' in the 'Systems' section and set the filter 'Hydrogen tanks' in the 'Complete vehicle components' section.
• Which machine and plant manufacturers have which skills in the battery sector? To do this, select the filter 'Mechanical and plant engineering' under 'Further options' in the 'Systems' section and select 'Traction battery' in the 'Powertrain components' section.
