About WINDFORCE

The partner country from June 10 to 12 is Denmark, as there is great potential for cross-border cooperation. Our motto this year: strongertogether: Offshore wind and maritime industry, we are the base of the renewables According to the realization agreement of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK), 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy should be connected to the grid in German waters by 2030 and at least four gigawatts of green hydrogen are to be produced in the North and Baltic Seas. Over 300 national and international experts, including from the conference partner country Denmark, are expected to attend this international industry class reunion. The conference consists of a central panel discussion, over 50 specialist presentations, keynote speeches, dinner speeches and start-up presentations. In total, conference participants can look forward to around 70 speakers sharing and contributing their expertise. It is important to use joint strengths and leverage synergies! With the further development of the offshore wind industry, combined with the maritime industry and the hydrogen economy, there are major challenges that can only be solved together. These will be the topics that you can expect: How do we achieve 30 gigawatts by 2030 in Germany and 300 gigawatts in the EU together and in international cooperation? Grid development and the electricity market are important prerequisites and therefore one of the main topics. The development of port infrastructure is essential for offshore wind and is therefore a prominent topic. What support measures can companies take advantage of for further development? An outlook on other European markets provides insights into the basics, objectives and remuneration models. Current expert information on the state of climate development conveys the urgent need for the consistent expansion of renewable energies. The implementation and development of hydrogen projects pose major challenges and will therefore also be a topic. Service & operation is becoming increasingly important. Windforce is therefore inviting experts who operate offshore to share their experiences. The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) will be organizing a thematic block on the Digitalization of Maintenance. We are already looking forward to welcoming you to the Heinrich Rönner Group’s premises for our traditional international reunion of the offshore wind industry. Construction and expansion is a tradition here!
