Fair participations
Wind Fair participations are an excellent and essential way of doing business in the wind industry. HHWE organizes international wind fair participations in Europe, Asia and the USA according to a turn-key concept and without a profit motive. We secure optimal space and location to promote the Dutch wind industry to take care of all your needs such as registration, stand construction, lounge, catering, joint promotion and PR. Scale effects and, in some cases, governmental contributions, enable us to reduce the costs to a minimum, and take most of the work out of your hands. We will, at all times, guarantee a personal and Dutch feel.
Successful HHWE fair participations include the annually recurring China Wind Power (Beijing), the biennial WindEnergy Hamburg and HUSUM Wind, and the Wind Expo Tokyo. We often organize events during the wind fairs to gain exposure, networking opportunities and matchmaking for our members.
Save yourself time, money and effort and get the most out of your fair participation with HHWE’s joint trade fair concept.
Trade missions
Not all emerging wind energy markets have suitable and well-organized trade fairs. That is why, especially in the up-and-coming wind energy countries, a different approach is necessary. In some cases, more than a trade fair is required to achieve the objectives. For specific markets and target groups, HHWE organizes incoming and/or outbound trade missions. The program is composed in close consultation with the participants on the basis of joint vision, clear objectives and with attention to everyone’s interests. Furthermore, the organization is completely taken care of by HHWE, where, in several cases, the government also plays a role and offers support by means of a financial contribution, and by offering the support of the Dutch embassy in the relevant countries.
A mission is comprised of a fixed number of components:
- Company visits
- Presentations
- Seminars & Matchmaking
- Social/network program
The company visits always focus on clients in the wind industry. This could be developers, contractors, wind turbine manufacturers and suppliers, knowledge centers, engineering offices, universities and governmental agencies. We make sure that the right people are present, such as buyers, design departments, and/or the management. To ensure participants are aware of the latest developments in the country, HHWE provides relevant information such as actualities, doing business, cultural issues and do or don’ts.
A matchmaking session consists of centrally organized one-on-one conversations between you and the desired contacts. In some countries, it is important that you have good relations with the government. In those cases, we ensure that the government is represented in the matchmaking. This way the participants can benefit from these contacts as well.

HHWE has a wealth of valuable market information worth sharing with its members. We conduct our own market research but we also offer many interesting market studies from our extensive network.
