Business Opportunities in Offshore Wind

Offshore wind is creating some of the largest infrastructure projects in the world with a potential market investment of over £100 billion. With this comes tens of thousands of jobs.

The Crown Estate have awarded the Round 3 Wind Farms contracts and the successful developers need companies able to feed into their supply chains. The supply chain is in the broadest sense, all the elements that will contribute to offshore wind energy deployment including: components; skilled workforce; infrastructure; also the political and economic environment. It is essential for supporting the deployment of offshore wind to deliver ambitious UK renewable energy targets.

This event will act as a ’marketplace’ for companies to find out about offshore wind developments and prepare to do business. The format for both the morning and afternoon events is:

The business opportunity - Presentations from Invest NI, The Crown Estate and the Developers.
The support available - Presentation and advice from Invest NI on how to enter these markets
Business to business opportunities - Depending on developer requirements there will be a limited amount of one-to-one business meetings
Exhibition - Networking opportunities with exhibiting developers
