About WindEurope — 25th to 27th of April 2023
With over 50 sessions and more than 250 speakers across three days, we will cover a lot of ground. From supply chains to permitting, grids and sustainability, finance and resource assessment, this years conference is packed full of content on every aspect of wind energy today — with input from across the sector, policy, NGOs and elsewhere.
ELBE Eurocluster: ELBE Alliance aims to contribute positioning Europe as the world technological and industrial leader in Blue Energy, with a special focus on offshore wind, wave and tidal energy. ELBE Alliance gathers seven European clusters with top expert companies and R&D organizations in Blue Energy to tackle the expansion of this sector beyond Europe.
At side-event: Presentation of the Eurocluster initiative and pre-announcement of the up-coming cascade funding call (8×60.000 Euros for SMEs) which is based on specific topics from challenge-owners that will present their challenge to the participants.
North Sea Cluster Collaboration: Seven European cluster organizations have signed a joint manifesto in Esbjerg, Denmark on the 5th of October 2022. The collaboration agreement is meant to secure more EU-funding for energy related innovation projects in the North Sea Region through activities such as knowledge sharing and matchmaking of national projects.
At the side-event: Relevant national projects or initiatives from the participating clusters will pitch for the participants and engage in matchmaking to potentially develop international links for future collaborations.
