High Wind 2026: From Ambition to Execution in Offshore Wind

Offshore wind is considered the most scalable renewable energy source in the North Sea region, and a cornerstone in the ongoing energy transition.
Shifting geopolitical conditions and supply chain challenges have made it increasingly important to understand where the offshore wind industry stands today and how to navigate in the coming years.
High Wind offers an important meeting place for stakeholders who want to stay ahead of market developments, explore new business opportunities and understand how countries and companies are positioning themselves for the next phase of growth.
Key questions we are going to address in the programme:
- Status of offshore wind deployment in the North Sea region
- Which countries have managed to combine increased energy production with industry growth plans.
- What does it take to turn ambitious plans into industrial realities.
- What does it take to lower the cost – examples.
- Offshore wind’s role in the broader energy transition today and the years to come

The High Wind organising partnership reflects this broad international perspective. Located on the southwest coast of Norway, a region whose trade routes and source of income date back to when the first Vikings set sail across the oceans, we continue to build on this legacy by fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing and industrial development in offshore wind.
The High Wind partners are:
ONS - organises the largest energy conference and exhibition in Europe
Norwegian Offshore Wind
Rogaland County - being part of the North Sea Commission
City of Stavanger - a leading partner in World Energy Cities
Stavanger Chamber of Commerce.
