We think that the most important conferences are...

.. difficult to uniformly agree on. Not necessarily a one conference fits all.

But we agree that some of these are relevant for us:

WindEnergy Hamburg

WindEurope

ONS

Scottish Renewables Exhibition in Glasgow

Bremen

# data[].attributes.body
We think that the most important conferences are...

Windeurope

Floating Wind-Days

Floating Wind Days Aberdeen

Renewable World (RUK)

ONS

Norshipping

# data[].attributes.body
We think that the most important conferences are...

Conferences: Hamburg (sept), Manchester, Copenhagen

Conference locations: Where development and park building is currently happening: UK and Germany in particular. France also mentioned.

Romania discussion: The Romanian embassy has plans in the Black Sea. Challenging with regards to Ukraine. Branches in Romania can access EU funds. Oil&Gas platform already exists. Offshore wind was announced last year.

Access to international markets:

Team up within partnerships to expand your offering.

Creating a relation..

... for example through introductions from existing partners

Learn about local business culture...

... for example through local partners

Our competitive edge:

Engineer to order (but not so strong in standardising)

Innovative technology that saves cost (as the offshore wind industry is under significant economical pressure)

Shipbuilding? While we are a first mover, it tends to be expensive and complex, and later outcompeted on price by foreign developers.

Geographical location (Large potential for offshore wind in the North Sea)

...

Access to international markets:

O&G companies must define themselves as renewable supplier...

Participate in industry delegations ...

Support schemes ...

...

Our competitive edge:

Maritime competence...

Offshore competence if shaped right...

Location close to north sea bassin...

...

...

# data[].attributes.body
Access to international markets:

Conferences

Contacts

Large companies with activities in several countries

Consortium partners

Our competitive edge:

Floating! E.g. Denmark is not focusing here

...

...

...

# data[].attributes.body
Access to international markets:

Use the north sea and ecosystem - optimal distribution from geographical location - becoming a hub

Lack of floating competence - the first mover advantage is huge

Use the perception of a strong offshore wind presence in Norway as long as it lasts

Use NorWeP

Use a unique value proposition - why should they choose you as a supplier in a mature market?

Our competitive edge:

Asset Play and shipping experience/export experience

Offshore Experience in general

Environment, culture and mindset/trust

Reputation and perception as an "environment champion"

Quality of complex project delivery and persistance vs swedish players

Electrification competence can be distributed to multiple industries - successful electrification of oil platforms from offshore wind may facilitate export of a new industry

Objectives (add 3)

1. Networking: Meeting people, identifying and sharing challenges.

Themes

Having themes set for the forums up front would be nice. These themes could be results from a brainstorming session.

Pitching session of services. Many of us are here with a commercial interest to identify potential buyers for our service.

Bring in a tier 1 contractor or a developer to explain what they need from us.

Content formats (e.g. presentation, seminar, discussions)

Table discussions (as today) is a very easy format to share experiences and ask questions.

Perhaps an elevator pitch from all participants to kick things off?

Brainstorm the most pressing issues (which is basically just having that as a question with the same format as today)

What can Norway/your company do together with Denmark to conquer international markets?

Add the ideas from your table

# data[].attributes.body
Our reputation in offshore, combined with Denmarks experience in wind can be perceived as very attractive to collaborate with for international markets.

Combined become "Europe's clean battery"

...

# data[].attributes.body
Denmark have been an offshore wind player (mostly bottom fixed) while Norway have competence in deep water and floating technology...

...

...

# data[].attributes.body
Learn from their competence: e.g. experience (several active farms), specific competence within fixed farms

Port collaboratium Denmark (Odense) and Haugesund. We have close borders. Does not make sense that each country does everything on their own

Norwegian strength: ships and vessels

...

# data[].attributes.body
70% of all seaborn activity is shipped out of Esbjerg, it has become a natural distribution point

Connecting to Denmark as a supplier to gain access, through large developers

Denmark has recently issued new capacity to auction
