WIND ENERGY
Presentations and dialogue with experts from companies, embassies and institutions
Wind energy is Denmark’s largest energy export area and Danish exporters have strong presence and commercial positions both onshore and offshore in our European home markets and in a range of global markets.
More recently, offshore wind energy has picked up dramatically, both in European, Asian and US markets with Danish expertise and technology in high demand from all sides. Danish enterprises, organizations and institutions are aggressively pursuing the opportunities, and a number of Danish experts are placed in strategic markets sharing Danish experience and paving the way for more Danish exports.
We take a closer look at opportunities and commercial activities in Asia, Europe and the United States.
The wind workshops are organized by Green Power Denmark, Danish Export Association and Danish Wind Export.
Wind energy in Asia
Market workshop #1 from 11.00-12.00
Strict Corona lockdowns in large parts of Asia, with the consequence that many Danish companies have not been in the region for several years have led to a lack of overview in many companies. In this light, the session will look at the Asian markets and create a debate about the opportunities for Danish companies and how we can best exploit these opportunities. And at the same time perhaps also cast a few critical eyes on the situation: What is the role of Danish companies in the region in competition with Chinese and other more local companies? What challenges exist for Danish companies working to establish sales and production in Asia?

Wind energy in Europe
Market workshop #2 from 13.30-14.30
Is the Esbjerg Declaration on offshore wind the land of milk and honey for the wind industry?
We take a deep dive into what is in the essentials in the Esbjerg Declaration and what are the first steps that we will see in the process towards becoming a reality and what market opportunities does it represent for the Danish wind sector and what are the challenges?
The session will investigate among others: Market opportunities, timeframes, actions taken already by the four countries and partnership opportunities both public / private and industry partnerships.

Wind energy in USA
Market workshop #3 from 15.00-16.00
The aim of the session is to look at the American offshore market and create a debate concentrating on the opportunities for Danish companies and how we make the best possible use of these opportunities. And at the same time perhaps also cast a few critical eyes on the situation – has the new administration delivered the green fairy tale that was expected and what challenges are there for Danish companies that want to establish themselves in the American market?
