Wind Energy 2050 Conference​

11 November | TU Delft Aula Conference Centre

Join us for a full day dedicated to the future of offshore wind. As the race toward 2050 accelerates, the ambitions for wind energy are greater than ever: 70 GW for the Netherlands and 260 GW across the North Sea. To meet these goals, we need more than ambition — we need innovation, collaboration, and bold solutions.

At the Wind Energy 2050 Conference, leading voices from research, industry, and policy will come together to explore the journey of offshore wind: where we have been, where we are, and where we need to go. Expect an energising mix of visionary keynotes, dynamic discussions, and fresh ideas from start-ups and young researchers reshaping the future.

From innovations in turbine design to system integration, circularity, and the role of wind in a global energy mix, this conference promises both depth and inspiration. You’ll gain new perspectives on urgent challenges, from regulatory frameworks and ecological impact to the technological breakthroughs needed for tomorrow’s wind farms.

Whether you're a researcher, entrepreneur, engineer, policymaker, or simply passionate about sustainable energy, this is your opportunity to connect and be part of the next chapter in offshore wind.
