2014 WindEnergy Hamburg - The global on- & offshore expo

Naturally in Europe’s wind industry capital

For the first time, in 2014, Hamburg will be the venue of a global trade fair for wind energy. Hamburg is a thriving business metropolis and major hub for the international wind energy sector. It is home to the leading companies in the sector and pools key competencies in both the onshore and offshore areas of business. With the European wind industry capital as its venue, WindEnergy Hamburg provides the perfect setting for you to present your company on a professional and international platform.

As an exhibitor, you will also benefit from Hamburg’s international charisma, its easy accessibility, and the modern infrastructure of the trade fair grounds when welcoming your customers and visitors from around the world to your exhibition stand.

We look forward to welcoming you!

A strong concept for a dynamic market

WindEnergy Hamburg is wholly tailored toward addressing the major issues facing the international wind energy sector. It brings together a high-caliber, professional audience and more than 1,000 exhibitors demonstrating their innovations and solutions from across the entire value chain of the industry. Key players will be in the spotlight in every hall.

Your platform for onshore and offshore success

The worldwide trend continues. There is an ongoing demand for onshore wind energy plants. At the same time, requirements and regulations for plants are getting stricter, whether in extreme climatic regions or in low-wind-speed areas. The industry is now developing onshore plants that are tailored to specific situations. Furthermore, repowering – the replacement of old plants by new, more efficient ones – is advancing steadily. Here, the industry is firmly demonstrating its innovative strengths – working to ensure sustainable growth and create added value.

The exploitation of offshore wind energy offers attractive market opportunities. While the current focus is firmly on Europe, there is potential for growth on a global scale. The areas where the onshore and offshore industries overlap are considerable, but technology, logistics, financing, and the different market players themselves, remain clearly distinct from each another. The success of offshore wind energy exploitation depends, above all, on the effective combination of wind energy sector competencies and those of the maritime industry.

Your added value: more dialog, contact, and success

Expect much more than a trade fair. With its comprehensive supporting program, WindEnergy Hamburg gives all exhibitors and visitors the opportunity to expand their knowledge and intensify contacts. There will be a high-caliber program on offer with specialist forums and conferences, workshops, and lectures – all playing a significant contribution to the development of the wind energy sector.

And at the end of a long day …

As an exhibitor at WindEnergy Hamburg, you will be able to continue your discussions with customers and business partners long into the evening. After all, once the trade fair halls have closed, there’s no better way to resume the dialog than over a glass of beer in a relaxed atmosphere. You will find many locations in the immediate vicinity of the trade fair – letting you carry on with those interesting conversations.
