Organised in collaboration with the Lisbon Energy Summit & Exhibition, the workshop at FIL – Lisbon Exhibition and Congress Centre.

🌊Our event is one of the +400 #EMDInMyCountry events celebrating the European Maritime Day across Europe!🌊

About the Workshop:

This workshop is part of the European MARINEWIND project, which aims to address the challenges of floating offshore wind energy, boosting the development of this technology. While Portugal has positioned itself as a leader in pioneering Floating Offshore Wind Technologies, the transition from innovation to industrialization presents many challenges. Some of these include adapting the political and legal framework, improving support infrastructures, consolidating a national supply chain, strengthening and expanding the national grid and addressing environmental and social acceptance challenges. During this session, we will analyse these barriers and enablers, with particular focus on those relating to the power grid.

We count on your presence and contribution to ensure successful knowledge sharing so that the development of this key sector in Portugal occurs in a sustainable way!
