Supply Chain Day
Supply chain improvements to reduce cost
Bringing down costs is essential for the industry. Size does matter – for turbines, substations, and wind farms in general. In these sessions, we will look closer at the crucial aspects such as industrialisation through a more standardised production line and cost-effective solutions, as well as how innovations in technologies, processes, materials and infrastructure can improve profitability.

Ports & Infrastructure
Ports are key to offshore wind development and in order to deliver, they must expand and develop their infrastructure. They are central for the successful transport of turbines and equipment, the hub for the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms and a magnet for much of the supply chain. Join the sessions here to discuss the next generation of port infrastructure and learn more about planning of ports, operations, lifting solutions, grid connection, cooperation and optimalization.
