The annual Ocean Energy Europe Conference & Exhibition is the meeting point for the whole ocean energy sector. Network, raise your profile and learn about the latest industry developments via our programme.

Europe's offshore and floating wind sector is experiencing unstoppable growth. Industry giants are scaling up to deliver more projects at multi-gigawatt levels and capitalize on the multibillion-euro market opportunity.

The next 2 years are pivotal for achieving Europe's 150GW target by 2030. An incredible 50GW of projects must roll out across 2023-2024 but supply chain bottlenecks, aging infrastructure, and bureaucracy threaten to choke industry growth and undermine investor confidence. With € billions in contracts ready to be unlocked, it’s crucial to act now and overcome these challenges.
