About the exhibition

Eight Northern Ireland companies and the NI Maritime & Offshore Network facilitators participated in this year's WindEnergy Hamburg exhibition in September 2024.

This event is the biggest and most important event for the global wind power industry and is wholly tailored toward addressing major issues facing the international wind energy sector. 

Bringing together 40,000 trade visitors from over 100 markets, it was the perfect opportunity for our exhibiting Northern Ireland companies to showcase their world-class innovations and solutions from across the value chain.

Northern Ireland has a strong reputation in the low carbon energy sector, with expertise across a range of specialisms, including the provision of non-tidal ports and associate logistics, harbour construction, site and offshore surveys, asset management and cable protection systems.
