Ireland & the Netherlands

Discover opportunities for cooperation with the Dutch offshore wind sector

VIRTUAL MISSION OFFSHORE WIND
IRELAND & THE NETHERLANDS

Are you interested to work together with the Dutch offshore wind market or enter the Dutch offshore wind sector, or would you like to expand/deepen your network?

Consider joining this virtual mission focusing on the Irish and Dutch offshore wind sector!

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, offshore wind developments in both Ireland and the Netherlands are taking off/continue as planned. In 2020, the Netherlands installed nearly 1.5GWS of offshore wind on the North Sea, which accounted for 25% of the total installed capacity worldwide in 2020! This makes the Netherlands first in Europe on 2020 installations, and second in the world after China.

Since the birth of the offshore wind industry, Dutch companies have been globally involved in the offshore wind sector and its developments, most visibly through the large Tier 1 contractors but also through strong and innovative Tier 2 & 3 suppliers. Part of this of this involvement finds its origin in the cross-over between other offshore and other marine industries, such as oil and gas.

Dutch companies can be your dedicated partner to collaborate in future offshore wind farm development!
