Management is also proud to highlight a number of recent developments that demonstrate significant recent progress:

Next Hydrogen was ranked first amongst publicly-traded companies as the fastest-growing sustainable company in Canada by Corporate Knights, a Canadian media and research company committed to advancing a sustainable economy.

The Company completed the installation of multiple test platforms at its new 27,000 square foot facility in Mississauga, Ontario. The test infrastructure includes bench scale test stands for qualification testing of new materials and performance characterization, pilot scale test equipment for validating new electrolyzer designs, durability and lifetime characteristics, and a factory acceptance test stand which is capable of testing commercial systems before they are shipped out to customers. This critical capability is expected to significantly accelerate the deployment of its new product lines in a reliable and cost-effective manner.

The Company signed a memorandum of understanding with Black & Veatch, a global engineering, procurement, consulting and construction company, to develop a complete, large-scale, and integrated multi-megawatt green hydrogen solution and identify areas of deeper collaboration and specific global opportunities. Next Hydrogen's unique hydrogen technology expertise and Black & Veatch's vast customer network and engineering leadership will offer an integrated hydrogen solution to clients worldwide.

Next Hydrogen joined a coalition of 40 partners that will work together, through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, to become one of at least four regional clean hydrogen hubs designated through the US federal Clean Hydrogen Hubs program included in the federal 2021 bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to advance a vision that enables a long-term sustainable clean hydrogen industry in the US Northeast. The coalition will be competitively positioned to advance a vision that enables a long-term sustainable clean hydrogen industry in the Northeast region and to develop a proposal in response to the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Funding Opportunity Announcement with $8 billion in funding available.

The Company successfully upgraded its U.S. listing to the OTCQX under the symbol "NXHSF", which is the highest market tier of OTC Markets and requires companies to meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.
