About the event
11 companies from Northern Ireland’s renewable energy sector travelled to Bilbao to participate in Wind Europe, one of Europe’s premier onshore and offshore wind trade events.
The event, which is aimed at fostering trade and relations with supply chain companies, growing the sector and advancing the deployment of offshore wind, proved very valuable to our delegation.
As part of this visit, participating companies also attended technical site visits with the aim of facilitating knowledge exchange with leading Spanish companies from the low carbon energy sector.
Northern Ireland has a strong reputation in the low carbon energy sector, with expertise across a range of specialisms, including the provision of non-tidal ports and associate logistics, harbour construction, site and offshore surveys, asset management and cable protection systems.
