One European fuel-cell platform, four countries
Forking Future Oy leads a consortium of independent fuel-cell companies in Finland, France, Norway and the Netherlands. We own the technology platform and the brand, finance and replicate production, and bring hydrogen power to drones, light mobility and backup power, with the whole hydrogen ecosystem around it.
Unconventional Energy: our fuel-cell brand →Talk to usFrom a Finnish advisory firm to a European hydrogen consortium
Forking Future started in 2024 as an innovation and funding advisory in Lehmo, Finland. In 2026 it became the lead company of a fuel-cell consortium when the technology, patents, trademarks and team of Pragma Industries, the French fuel-cell pioneer founded in 2004, joined the group. The path continues: Finnish production in 2027, Nordic and Dutch sales channels, and an AI business line for the physical economy.

Production replicated in Finland
Stack production in Varkaus, production and industrialisation in Jyväskylä, MILA test and application centre in Imatra. Gen 7–8 cells. Sales and application engineering in Norway and the Netherlands.
Light PEM fuel cells: stacks, systems and the hydrogen ecosystem
Our customers are drone manufacturers, micro- and light-mobility OEMs and users of backup power. The consortium supplies stacks and systems to equipment manufacturers and does not compete with them with drones or vehicles of its own. Around the power source we deliver the whole hydrogen ecosystem: local hydrogen production and storage, the fuel-cell power unit, integration and testing, and the approvals the application needs.
PEM cells and stacks
Cell chemistry and stack design from Bayonne. Open-cathode, air-cooled; Gen 5 in production, Gen 7–8 in development.
Power systems from 1 kW upwards
Modular design, no upper power limit. Single stacks 500 W to 4.8 kW, hybridised with supercapacitors and batteries.
Field backup power
Silent, rugged and transportable fuel-cell gensets. Military and civil customers in Europe.
Light mobility
Hydrogen bicycles, developed and built in France by Pragma Industries since 2017.
Local hydrogen production
Production and storage stations sized for the application.
Integration, testing and approvals
We fit the fuel cell into your platform and carry it through test campaigns, safety audits and certification. Certified hydrogen-safety competence in-house.
Dual-use ready. Products designed and manufactured in the EU with no critical components sourced from outside the EU: a precondition for MIL and NATO supply chains.
