Dutch trade mission offshore wind energy Ireland

Welcome to the website of our Trade Mission Offshore Wind to Ireland! I appreciate your interest in joining this mission.

Now is the right time for sourcing opportunities, building the network and laying the foundations for what looks like a long and prosperous future of offshore wind in Ireland. Ireland’s offshore wind market is relatively speaking in an emerging state. Yet, there are few places in the world, where the prospects for offshore wind development (and particularly floating and hydrogen) are as plentiful.

In the past few years offshore wind developers, the broader Irish supply chain as well as the Irish government have recognized this potential. The ambitious climate goals were the initial reason for this. But the war in Ukraine, and an increased urgency for European energy independence, have given further prominence to the potential Irish resources.

With a mature offshore supply chain and a solid track record in offshore wind development the Netherlands has a lot to offer. Ireland’s business sector as well as government agencies and knowledge institutions could make good use of the Dutch capabilities. And with Ireland developing their own (high-tech and skilled) supply chain and its future export potential of green hydrogen there is a clear interest for the Netherlands as well.

This mission will more specifically explore possibilities of Dutch-Irish trade related to both Bottom Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind as well as Port and Hydrogen Development.

I look forward to meeting you and discuss together with Irish stakeholders how we can harness the opportunities that Ireland has to offer.
