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.
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.
Webinar: Global Growth – O&G and Energy sector in GCC countries (2025)

Register now!
Following the success of the 2022-2023 Global Growth program, where over 70% of participating companies either strengthened their presence or successfully entered the GCC markets, Team Norway is gearing up for an exciting new phase in 2025!
The GCC countries – Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain – present significant opportunities for Norwegian petroleum service companies. With an estimated $738 billion in investments projected for the upstream oil and gas (O&G) sector in the MENA region from 2023 to 2030, the potential is vast. As Saudi Arabia leads the charge with $234 billion allocated for investment through 2030, and the UAE follows with $75 billion, the region is brimming with potential for growth.
Saudi Arabia – with the largest drilling activities and plans to increase production to over 13m b/d, the country offers attractive opportunities in several disciplines.
UAE – planning to increase oil production from 4m to 5m b/d, creating significant upstream opportunities.Qatar – aiming to become the largest producer of LNG, Qatar is drilling several wells and has plans to expand LNG terminals and build 100+ LNG vessels across several yards.
Kuwait – after successfully drilling two offshore wells with significant reserve discoveries, Kuwait plans to drill 40 more offshore wells.
Oman – with 1m b/d production and challenges related to HPHT and water-cut requires advanced technologies.
Bahrain – with a production of 0.5m b/d is actively looking for new technologies to expand its production.
Join us for this webinar to discover more about the program and gain valuable market insights on the latest developments in the GCC energy and petroleum sector.
When: Friday, April 4, 2025, at 09:00am-10:00am (CET) / 11:00am-12:00pm (GST)
Where: Microsoft Teams (access link will be shared later)
Agenda:
GCC market updates – NORWEP
GG program overview – Innovation Norway Middle East
The Norwegian Energy Industry in a Changing World

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?
