– USA, MA – Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADN), an innovation-driven leader in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology space, today announced the appointment of Dr. Nora Gourdoupi to its board of directors.
“Without Nora’s innovation and dedication to our technology, we would not have a best in class MEA powering a portfolio of fuel cell products poised to revolutionize how energy is created. Without her tireless advocacy and diligence in working with the European Commission over the past eighteen months, Advent would not have received the approval and ratification of Green HiPo, a colossal project which will transform the Company and ensure that Advent is positioned among the world leaders in green energy technology. I welcome her to the board,” said CEO and Chairman, Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou.
