The top leaders of the offshore industry in one place
Like every year, we asked ourselves, is there anything more? In fact, there are two points that are close to our hearts: less CO₂ – more time for networking.
Industry meeting place for the offshore wind industry since 2012
In-depth presentations and panel discussions will be held in a small setting of max. 120 C-level representatives from business, science and politics were held, providing important impetus for the further development of the offshore wind industry.
In addition, a small setting enables effective networking and collaboration between participants, which also helps to promote partnerships and business development.
