About WindEurope

WindEurope is excited to partner once again with the city of Copenhagen and Danish industry leaders to host the Annual Event 2025. As the birthplace of wind energy, Denmark continues to set new records, sourcing over 55% of its electricity from wind – the highest in Europe. Following a record-breaking 2023 event with nearly 16,000 participants, the 2025 gathering in Copenhagen is expected to attract an even larger audience, making it the perfect venue for showcasing the latest advancements in offshore wind.

See the 2025 conference program here

2025 promises to be a defining year for European politics. A new European Commission takes office in November 2024. Wind energy will come under huge scrutiny as Governments weigh up the costs of the energy transition.

It’s time to prove our worth. Wind isn’t just about fighting climate change. It’s about jobs, innovation, sovereignty and much more. Wind is 350,000 jobs in Europe. And with 250 GW installed across the continent, it powers our factories, heats our homes, and sustains the livelihoods of millions of Europeans – with clean and homegrown power solutions.

The Norwegian Energy Industry in a Changing World

01 – 01 Apr10:30 – 12:00
Wilhelmsen Headquarter. Strandveien 20, Lysaker
SIGN UP NOW

Join us on 1 April from 10:30 to 12:00 at Lysaker, for a discussion on how geopolitical shifts are reshaping the global energy landscape, and what this means for Norway. Hosted by our member Wilhelmsen, this event will bring together industry experts to share insights on energy security, market dynamics, and strategic responses to evolving challenges.

Geopolitical Perspectives and Framework Conditions

The global energy sector is undergoing a profound transition, where geopolitical tensions are increasingly shaping energy markets, investment flows, and technological priorities. Conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, instability in the Middle East, and the strategic rivalry among major powers over energy and technology dominance have placed energy security at the top of the agenda for both nations and companies.

At the same time, divergent strategic approaches are becoming more apparent: while the US signals a potential shift towards fossil energy and protectionist policies, the EU remains committed to the green transition, and China continues to expand its long-term investments in renewable energy and critical raw materials.

For Norway — an energy nation with deep ties to both fossil and renewable industries — this evolving landscape presents both challenges and opportunities. As geopolitical shifts reshape the global energy sector, how will they impact the Norwegian energy industry?

Agenda

10:30 – 11:00 | Mingling and Light Refreshments

Informal networking with members and non-members.

11:00 – 11:10 | Welcome & Industry Update

Vi har 5 ledige plasser til finandsieringsmodulen i 2X2-programmet!

Bakgrunn for 2×2 Challenge

En medlemsundersøkelse i Energy Valley avdekket at vekstorienterte selskaper med en omsetning mellom 50–200 MNOK møter syv tilbakevendende utfordringer og vekstbarrierer:

📌 Competence and Talent
📌 AI & Technology
📌 M&A
📌 Sales & Marketing
📌 Financing
📌 Internationalization
📌 Sustainability

Disse innsiktene la grunnlaget for pilotversjonen av 2X2 Challenge – et akseleratorprogram skreddersydd for å skape en arena for diskusjon, problemløsning og nettverksbygging rundt disse temaene.

Hittil har vi gjennomført vellykkede moduler innen M&A (Thommessen), AI (Capgemini AI Futures Lab), Sales & Marketing (Reodor Studios), Competence & Talent (Amby), og Internationalization (Norsk Industri og Innovasjon Norge).

Nå står finansiering for tur den 26. mars på MESH Youngstorget, fra kl. 12:00-14:30. 

Hvorfor bør du delta?

  • Sesjonen gir deg en praktisk innføring i hvordan investorer tenker og hva som skal til for å sikre finansiering:
  • Hvordan kan du styrke din egen posisjon og øke sannsynligheten for å lykkes med kapitalinnhenting?
  • Hvordan ser det norske VC-markedet ut akkurat nå, og hvilke trender bør du være klar over?
  • Hva ser investorer etter i et investeringscase, og hvordan vurderes selskaper systematisk?
