Energy Valley har i samarbeid med Notodden Kommune og Notodden Utvikling, gleden av å invitere til en inspirerende ettermiddag tirsdag 13. februar, kl. 12:00–15:00, i Bok & Blueshuset på Notodden.
Ettermiddagen byr på et spennende program med fokus på rammevilkår for næringslivet i Notodden, verdien av å være del av en næringsklynge, innlegg fra lokale bedrifter og en engasjerende panelsamtale der industrien møter politikere for å diskutere sentrale problemstillinger.
Kanskje krydres atmosfæren også med noen stemningsfulle blues-toner, i tråd med Notoddens rike kulturarv?
Dagen starter med en smakfull lunsj, samt muligheten til å knytte verdifulle kontakter med andre aktører i industrien. Deretter utforsker vi både utfordringer og muligheter for næringsutvikling i regionen. Vi får industriens perspektiver på energi- og hydrogenteknologier, og ikke minst ser vi på fremtidige muligheter for kunstig intelligens (AI) og bærekraftige løsninger i lokale industrier.
Vi ser frem til en innholdsrik ettermiddag fylt med innsikt, diskusjoner og nettverksbygging
Ikke gå glipp av denne muligheten til å delta i viktige samtaler og styrke ditt profesjonelle nettverk! Arrangementet er gratis og åpent for alle, og vi oppfordrer deg til å invitere kollegaer og bekjente fra ditt nettverk.
Following our launch at ONS in 2024, our offshore wind report written together with Capgemini Invent and Energy Cluster Denmark, “Winds of Opportunity”, is still highly relevant! To kickstart 2025, Capgemini Invent, in collaboration with Thommessen and Energy Valley, is hosting a breakfast seminar on offshore wind to gather the industry and take the discussions on opportunities for collaboration and synergies across Scandinavia even further.
The report is based on 29 interviews with organizations across the industry to explore opportunities for leveraging synergies and collaborating across Scandinavia to build a robust offshore wind industry capable of global export.
The event will provide a unique platform for industry stakeholders to share experiences, perspectives, and foster discussions about the Scandinavian offshore wind industry in light of the current market situation and future outlook. Through market updates, experience sharing, and success stories, culminating in a panel debate, we promise you an engaging morning filled with new insights and intriguing discussions.

Unlocking industry growth by leveraging synergies and collaboration across Scandinavia
About the study
In 2023, energy-related CO2 emissions reached an unprecedented level of 37.4 billion tons. Without the increased deployment of renewable energy sources, this rise would have been even greater. To meet the projected doubled electricity demand by 2050 without amplifying climate change, energy production must continue to be decoupled from CO2 emissions. Accelerated renewable energy production, such as offshore wind, is essential for this to become a reality.
The offshore wind industry in Scandinavia is particularly well-positioned for substantial growth through export, driven by a commitment to renewable energy production and current industry presence as both project developers and supplier. This study, as a joint effort by Capgemini Invent, Energy Valley and Energy Cluster Denmark, underscores the current competitive advantages of each Scandinavian country and how their complementary industries could be integrated to enhance their global standing. Sharing ambitious renewable energy targets and commitments, leveraging strong capabilities across the offshore wind value chain, knowledge sharing, cooperation, and joint efforts could facilitate export to the global market, and ultimately facilitate the required green energy production.
