What is the difference between the wind and the energy transition? None. We can already feel both.
Mark your calendars as Global Offshore Wind is in the air from the 17th and 18th June.
Wind power stands as one of the epicenters of the renewables industry, presenting as much opportunities as challenges. Both must be addressed to ensure successful grid scale up, to add digitization for enhancing power quality, and to get holistic approach to connect large volumes of offshore wind development.
Now, more than ever, collaboration is essential to advance a sustainable energy future, and harnessing the full potential of wind power is crucial.
This gathering comes at a crucial moment in our industry's history as Europe's 2030 net zero targets draw increasingly closer. We are collectively facing the immense challenge of doubling our cross-border transmission infrastructure within this decade. The urgency for grid investment and innovation is clear.
Together, we will overcome the challenges of infrastructure, integration, grid connection, and sustainable scaling that lie ahead. Join us in shaping a renewables-based future for Europe.
With more than 120 years’ experience in pioneering markets and is connecting more than 38 GW offshore wind power to the grid. Hitachi Energy is your trusted partner. Join us at booth M26 to discover more.
Don't miss out on this the opportunity to connect with most brilliant minds in renewable energy.

Join Us in Redefining the Power System
We are all relying on renewable energy to fulfill the promise of a carbon-neutral future, from industries and municipalities to the individuals. Energy stakeholders must ensure system stability by utilizing both existing and new technologies. This mix of electricity sources will become the backbone of our entire energy system, powering all aspects of modern society, including transportation, heating and cooling, and various industrial processes.
A6: Mission ready: building a supply chain for the net zero era.
Wednesday, 18 June 2025
10:15 – 11:15
Format: Panel discussion, Q&A
- One year on from the Industrial Growth Plan (IGP), how has the offshore wind supply chain progressed from strategy to tangible delivery, and what steps are needed to sustain momentum?
- With the IGP Delivery Body in place and AR7 bids advancing, what are the immediate priorities to drive further progress and meet 2030 targets?
- As the global supply chain evolves, how can international players work together to drive innovation, cost reduction and supply chain security for offshore wind?
- How can investment in skills, innovation, and long-term collaboration strengthen the supply chain, ensuring it remains agile, scalable, and resilient for future growth?
