Swedish Offshore Wind Forum 2024

SOLD OUT (Waitinglist Available)

Repeating last year's successful conference, SOWF2024 will take place on 13 June in Gothenburg, Sweden.

This year, we expand the conference with an exhibition area and matchmaking opportunities.

The offshore wind energy industry, together with key stakeholders and politicians, will gather to discuss opportunities for offshore wind power - and the opportunities that come with the expansion. We will discuss offshore wind power's role in regional development, securing green baseload and opportunities for the supply chain.

Policy makers and industry leaders will present and discuss efforts to jointly strengthen the expansion of offshore wind power to enable Swedish competetiveness, electrification and climate transition.

Dont' miss out on the exclusive networking dinner on the evening of 12 June.


Swedish Offshore Wind Forum 2024 is organised by Svensk Vindenergi (the Swedish Wind Energy Association) and Teknikföretagen (the Association of Swedish Engineering Industries).


Last day to get your ticket is 10 June. Check out the programme!
