Offshore Wind: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions in Norway and Germany
Om arrangementet
Norway has set ambitious goals for the development of offshore wind. The Norwegian Continental Shelf boasts some of the best wind conditions in Europe. With Norway's extensive offshore experience, the country is well-positioned to take a leading position, particularly in floating wind installations. Several areas along the Norwegian coastline have been identified as suitable for offshore wind development. Germany is a natural partner for Norway in this field, given its long-standing experience in onshore wind, strong supply industry, and pioneering role in climate-friendly technologies.
At this conference, you'll gain insights into the latest developments in both Norway and Germany, discuss key issues with industry experts, and connect with German companies from the offshore wind sector as well as relevant Norwegian companies, organizations, and institutions.
