PIB Ireland

The overall objective of the PIB ‘Offshore Wind Ireland’ is to establish and strengthen the relationship between Dutch businesses and all relevant stakeholders in Ireland, including (local) public sector and private decision makers, such as developers, (marine) contractors, local subcontractors, local and national knowledge institutes, wind power and renewable energy associations, and ports and shipyards. Goal is to work together to accelerate the energy transition.

In September 2023, 10 Dutch companies with substantial background in the global offshore wind supply chain joined the Partners for International Business (PIB) program ‘Offshore Wind Ireland’ to promote the Dutch sector and engage in the Irish offshore wind market. The basis of this three-year strategy program was laid during the organization of multiple (online) wind missions to Ireland, B2B meetings and knowledge exchange sessions together with the Irish supply chain.

The Dutch offshore wind supply chain

Dutch offshore wind supply chain has a unique and considerable history above and below the sea level that produced associated renowned governance and industry in water works and we have used that to create a successful offshore wind energy industry, importantly a commercial supply chain benefiting wind-water power generation needs and regions of economic growth.

In our approach to develop offshore wind, we continue to build upon our shared core values of:

  • Inventiveness: a ‘can-do’ mentality always looking for innovative yet pragmatic solutions;

  • Inclusivity: ‘win-win-win’ solutions, long-term collaborations and trade  transcending sectors and sovereign borders.

  • Openness: we value freedom, transparency, and clarity.
