Norway and Greece bolster offshore wind ties
Norwegian Offshore Wind and Hellenic Wind Energy Association ELETAEN, the national wind association in Greece, was this week awarded funding support through the EEA Grants.
The funding will be used to map the Greek supply chain in offshore wind and link it to Norwegian counterparts. Since ports are seen as central aspect of the supply chain, a special emphasis will put on mapping the ports in Greece capable for delivering for offshore wind.

Join our Visit NOW to Maine (US)
Along with the US West Coast, the Gulf of Maine (GOM) is poised to become the birthplace of the nation’s floating offshore wind industry. On this Visit NOW we will organize a trip to Maine in connection with the American Floating Offshore Wind Technical Summit.
AFloat 2023 brings together leading experts to address these drivers and challenges to chart a course for floating offshore wind in the US.
Participating companies in Visit NOW will meet with stake holders from the industry who are in the area, and we are looking into possible site visits and networking opportunities.

⏰UPCOMING EVENTS 📆
2023 er året hvor det blir klart hvem som får bygge ut de første storskala havvindparkene i Norge. Næringen har jobbet beinhardt for å få fart på første fase. Ambisjonene vi har satt oss krever nye areal, nye løsninger og nye ideer. Er samfunnet rigget for at vi skal nå målene våre?
Regjeringen Støre har vedtatt at havvind er en prioritert eksportsatsing for Norge. Nå skal vi i industrien dykke dypere inn i festtalene for å se om det faktisk er sammenheng mellom mål og muskler.
Norges ambisjoner på havvind skaper titusenvis av nye arbeidsplasser. Spørsmålet er: Hvem står klare til å ta dem? Industrien selv er tydelige på at behovet for høyere utdanning innen havvind er stort. Ny teknologi skal få kostnadene ned og lønnsomheten opp. Ny infrastruktur må planlegges og bygges. Ny forskning skal bidra til å sikre en skånsom utvikling på naturens premisser.
Havvind er den nye norske storindustrien. Den representerer en ny tid med ny giv. Likevel tar vi med oss gamle maktstrukturer fra olje og gass.
