Due to other events we are organizing in Japan this year, such as the Wind Expo Tokyo and the Economic Mission during the World Expo Osaka, we will not be organizing a collective Dutch participation in the Global Offshore Wind Summit Japan this year. This activity will be included again in our export agenda in 2026. 

With its significant and sizeable offshore wind potential, and strong industrial capabilities, Japan can be an offshore wind leader and seize the Asian offshore wind opportunity. Japan is well placed to be able to capitalize on these advantages, and deploy offshore wind at scale for both the production of power and green hydrogen.

The Global Offshore Wind Summit-Japan (GOWS-J) is Japan’s leading offshore wind power event and will be held from October 15 – 17, in Akita, Japan. This event is aimed at leveraging Japan’s significant potential and robust industrial foundation in offshore wind power generation. With over 800 attendees from both domestic and international offshore wind markets, the summit offers a platform for expert presentations, discussions, exhibitions, and networking opportunities. More over, in collaboration with local municipalities, it aims to foster regional consensus on offshore wind power initiatives.

This event is organized by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and the Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA).
