About Offshore-Windindustry.com
Offshore wind energy is developing into a new, dynamic, growing industry sector mainly in Europe and in Asia. Businesses from the maritime economy and the wind energy sector are coming together into a new industry sector. The website www.offshore-windindustry.com is a showcase for companies and stakeholders from the offshore wind energy and their offerings, products and services. In addition to industry stakeholders, a branch of research into offshore wind energy has developed with the establishment of offshore research facilities for this future-oriented sector around the world. Universities and educational institutions are offering new or expanded options for education and training in the domain of offshore wind energy exploitation.
An additional focus of the website is to highlight the development of offshore wind energy and particularly the expansion of wind energy in different countries. The development of offshore wind farms in Europe, in parallel with the decline in North Sea oil, is resulting in increased “green“ electricity production from the sea. The offshore calendar of events gives details of important trade fairs, events, seminars and conferences relating to wind energy. The jobs portal is aimed at advertising new job opportunities in the offshore wind energy sector.
