Events > Introduction to Offshore Wind 2024

Discovering your potential in offshore wind

Businesses from across the UK are invited to join the first in a series of webinars, designed to provide a detailed overview of offshore wind and the vast opportunities it presents for a variety of sectors and markets. Over the coming months, we will be hosting a series of events in partnership with relevant organisations to help companies in the sector access international markets and grow their businesses through exports.

During these webinars, you will have the opportunity to take part in Q&A sessions with market experts, who will share their experiences and practical advice on the offshore wind industry.

This is a great opportunity to discover how to transfer UK experience into international markets. The UK is currently the world’s largest offshore wind market, meaning UK businesses are well positioned to access opportunities overseas.

The second webinar in the series will focus on the USA, providing a detailed insight on doing business in this market. 

Why take part?

  • Discover the viability and appetite in the USA for your business.
  • Understand the steps that you need to take to trade in this market. 
  • Learn how your business can explore opportunities in the offshore wind sector, fostering growth and collaboration.
