Venture Center
Facilities

The CoE's open-access facility at NCL Innovation Park is being built to serve startups, individual innovators, and institutional innovators for testing, characterization, and benchmarking of clean energy and green hydrogen technologies. It is organized into three specialized facilities, each purpose-built around a distinct technology track.


Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer Testing Facility

Dedicated infrastructure for the performance evaluation, benchmarking, diagnostics, and characterization of hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysers — supporting startups building the core hydrogen energy conversion stack.
