Exhibition
Join Team Norway's delegation to Wind Expo in Tokyo, Japan to explore the opportunities in the offshore wind market.
Programme elements
Innovation Norway, in cooperation with Norwegian Energy Partners, and the Norwegian Embassy will host the Norway Pavilion at WIND EXPO 19-21 February 2025.
The Norway Pavilion at the WIND EXPO will be the place to go to for Japanese companies to discuss challenges, get inspired solutions and find partners for their projects in Japan and beyond.
As a pavilion participating company we offer pitch opportunities at the Offshore Wind seminar, tickets to Embassy Reception (Date: TBD) and access to storage space and common meeting area.
Wind Expo is the largest wind power event in Japan and is a part of Smart Energy Week with some 70,000 visitors (last year). Wind Expo exhibits all kinds of products and technologies from wind turbines to wind farm construction, maintenance and operation, and offshore wind technologies, and has become a well-established event in the industry that attracts experts from all over the world. This exhibition is an important platform for accelerating the wind power business face to face both in Japan and for the Asia region.
Japan leading Offshore Wind development in Asia
Japan acknowledges it potential as one of the best areas globally for offshore wind by its ambitions of 10GW installed capacity by 2030 and up to 45 GW by 2040, of which 10GW will be floating. Japan is now in its 3rd round of annual auctions of GW-scale bottom-fixed auctions and is expected to move into floating options in its EEZ by turn of this decade.
Especially the floating offshore wind era offers significant opportunities for Norwegian developers, engineering and service companies to fill the significant gap in domestic experience, know-how and equipment. This includes seabed and geophysics assessment for mooring and anchoring; marine operations such as towing and hook-up; cable laying and operations and maintenance – in addition to software solutions across the entire value chain of logistics, planning, and operations.
Norway has a strong brand and Norwegian companies are well recognized and respected in Japan based on decades as shipbuilding, offshore and maritime sectors cooperation.
