Javier Romero, a Malaga native who left his homeland 32 years ago to pursue studies and a career abroad, has returned to Malaga from China to establish Hygreen Energy's first European electrolyser factory in the city. Romero, known for his investments in sustainability-focused companies through his fund Chinalink ESG, has positioned Hygreen Energy as a major player in the green hydrogen market, choosing Malaga for its European subsidiary. The move aims to cater to European and US markets while being closer to customers. Romero's vision extends beyond Hygreen, believing that Malaga's technological growth, exemplified by projects like IMEC, will further elevate the city's status in attracting top-level technology companies. Additionally, Romero sees an opportunity for Andalucía to lead in renewable energies and technology sectors. Alongside his business ventures, Romero is a passionate art collector and patron, driving initiatives to promote art and cultural growth in Malaga. His efforts, including establishing the Fundación Mecenas Museo Casa Natal Picasso, showcase his commitment to fostering a vibrant arts ecosystem in the city.
