Today, 71 regional IRCs span 33 countries: 25 EU Member States, Bulgaria, Romania, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and Chile. Most IRCs are operated by a consortia of qualified regional organisations such as Chambers of Commerce, Regional Development Agencies and university Technology Centres. Altogether, nearly 230 partner organisations are involved, ensuring wide geographic coverage.

According to these objectives, the IRC Network is supporting the celebration of the brokerage event related to hydrogen and fuel cells, during the 2^nd European Hydrogen Energy Conference and the 2^nd Professional Meeting on Hydrogen and Fuel Cells. The purpose of the brokerage event is to create a meeting point for technological requests and technological offers. These meetings will be the seed for future partnerships for reaching technology transfer agreements.
