Enterprise Ireland Offshore Wind Forum 8th & 9th June 2022

On the 8th and 9th of June 2022, Enterprise Ireland will host the Enterprise Ireland Offshore Wind Forum in Croke Park, Dublin. This in-person event will convene the Irish offshore wind supply chain with industry stakeholders from across the Irish, UK and global offshore wind markets.

On day one, we will focus on the UK market and take a close look at the UK’s industry ambition, investment, project pipelines and supply chain requirements. We will hear directly from developers, tier one contractors and stakeholders active in the UK and from Irish SMEs with relevant experience and capability for the UK market. Discussions will centre around the UK’s 2030 40GW ambition, the role of innovation in the sector, the growing role of floating offshore wind as well as some of the key challenges facing the UK offshore wind industry.

For UK industry, this will be an excellent opportunity to meet with the Irish supply chain and to better understand how Irish expertise and innovation can help you to deliver your projects effectively.

On day two, the focus will switch to the domestic Irish market. Attendees will receive updates on Ireland’s project timelines and locations. Developers of Irish Sea projects will provide updates on relevant projects and detail how Irish SMEs can become supply chain partners. Looking at the long term potential for offshore wind in Ireland, the event will also examine the progress on floating offshore wind and the complementary energy storage possibilities around green hydrogen. The critical role that Irish ports can play in the industry will also be examined. Irish SMEs will showcase their innovative capabilities and industry experience through a series of elevator pitches throughout the two day event.

Please note that a detailed agenda and registration link will be shared in mid-March. As we expect a high degree of interest in this event, we strongly encourage you to book your place early when you receive the registration link.
