Mane Energy Issue 4 - April 2016 | Page 12

WINDFORCE 2016, the key event of the offshore wind industry, is taking place in Bremen from 7 to 9 June. At the same time that national and international experts discuss markets, projects, environmental protection and research at the WINDFORCE conference in the congress area at the Bremen Fair site, exhibitors from Germany and overseas will present their products and services in the exhibition halls. Representing the offshore wind industry’s entire value-creation chain, some 300 exhibitors

are expected to attend, including

manufacturers, planners and operators, service and logistics companies as well as research institutes, suppliers and insurers.

Offshore wind has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years and is continuing to grow rapidly. With superpowers like the United States of America having their first

wind farm, this will only serve to strengthen the market. The Windforce event looks

set to demonstrate the incredible feats and milestones that have been

achieved since COP21, with major

organisations from across the globe showcasing their work. This has contributed to strengthening the notion that offshore wind is now a significant and growing energy source. Mane are looking forward to the event and will be in attendance on Wednesday 8th, where we will be networking with some familiar faces in the evening over a couple of drinks. If you’re planning on attending the event, we’d love to catch up with you at some point.
