Programme
Visit the OEEC exhibition floor, meet SMEs and organisations active in offshore energy, maritime & ecology.
Discover how Ecowende is setting a new standard for ecological offshore wind development. As a pioneer in nature-inclusive wind farm design, Ecowende integrates ecology into every phase of development, creating opportunities for innovation, economic value and the coexistence of offshore wind and other activities, including fisheries.
Go beyond policy ambitions and explore how ecological principles are translated into practical solutions. Gain insights into the lessons learned, innovative approaches and opportunities for a more sustainable future for offshore wind.
Offshore wind is evolving rapidly, opening the door to a new generation of innovative energy solutions. In this innovation session hosted by Energy Innovation NL, discover the next generation of offshore energy solutions, from offshore energy storage and floating solar to offshore data centres.
Explore emerging technologies, innovative projects and new opportunities to develop a smarter, more integrated offshore energy system. The session also highlights initiatives such as Vattenfall’s collaboration with Project ENKI, offering a glimpse into how innovation can unlock new possibilities at sea.
Rising costs, uncertain auction outcomes and fluctuating project pipelines are creating challenges for the European offshore wind industry. Greater predictability, industrialisation and standardisation are key to building a more competitive and resilient supply chain.
In this session, DNV and industry partners share insights from a Joint Industry Project (JIP) that brings together stakeholders from across the European offshore wind sector. Discover how greater consistency in design parameters, project requirements and development pipelines can help reduce costs, improve project delivery and strengthen confidence for supply-chain investment while leaving room for continued turbine innovation.
Join the discussion and explore practical opportunities to accelerate offshore wind development through greater collaboration and standardisation.
Join international (government) guests, developers, representatives from the Dutch supply chain and trade organisations for an informal networking reception.
Explore how open data is supporting innovation, research and decision-making in the Dutch offshore wind sector. Rijkswaterstaat (the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management), together with its partners, provides access to a range of digital platforms offering valuable insights into offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
Discover ecological data on the impact of offshore wind farms on birds, bats and marine mammals, explore real-time data and connectivity information from wind farms such as Borssele and Hollandse Kust through the Digital North Sea platform, and access publicly available hydro-meteorological data, including wave heights and wind speeds.
Find out how these data resources can help industry professionals, researchers and other stakeholders gain new insights and support the further development of offshore wind.
With the construction of new offshore wind farms, protecting critical seabed infrastructure and digital systems is becoming increasingly important. Recent incidents in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea highlight the need to strengthen the security and resilience of offshore energy infrastructure.
In this session, experts explore the key risks and challenges surrounding seabed infrastructure security and cybersecurity in offshore wind. Discover potential solutions, approaches to risk mitigation and ways to strengthen the resilience of critical offshore energy systems.
Join the discussion and gain insights into how the sector can better protect the infrastructure that underpins Europe’s offshore energy future.
What’s next for offshore wind in the Dutch North Sea? Join the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), the Ministry of Economic Affairs and TenneT, the Dutch transmission system operator, for an update on upcoming gigawatt-scale offshore wind tenders and the plans shaping the sector’s future.
Explore current policy discussions, including the potential role of Contracts for Difference (CfDs), and gain insights into the next steps for offshore wind development in the Netherlands.
The session will also celebrate the completion of the site studies for the 2032+ Roadmap, marking an important milestone in preparing for the next phase of offshore wind development.
Join international government representatives, offshore wind developers, Dutch supply chain companies and trade organisations for an informal networking reception.
Connect with key players from across the international offshore wind sector, exchange ideas and explore opportunities for collaboration in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Build new relationships and strengthen existing partnerships to help shape the future of offshore wind.
