ACCELERATING FLOATING WIND DEPLOYMENT ACROSS EUROPE

Welcome to Floating Offshore Wind 2026, the meeting place for developers, innovators, policymakers, and suppliers committed to advancing the next generation of floating wind technology across Europe’s deepwater regions.

The industry faces rising costs, limited grid access, slow permitting, and port constraints. However, new floater designs, dynamic cabling, digital monitoring, and stronger partnerships present clear opportunities for scaling up and achieving faster commercial rollout.

Join experts shaping the future of Europe’s floating wind sector, gain practical insights, and contribute to safe, efficient, and competitive large-scale deployment.

key topics for

Market outlook, auctions, and finance for commercial scale floating wind

Explore shifting market forces, evolving auction models, and investment trends that power the commercialisation and expansion of floating wind across Europe.

Support grid integration via dynamic cabling, interconnects and substations

Review engineering advances in dynamic export cables, subsea substations, and grid interfaces that ensure secure, efficient connections for floating wind farms.

Real world fabrication and deployment case studies from industry leaders

Gain insights from developers and fabricators leading Europe’s pilot and pre-commercial projects, focusing on fabrication, logistics, and installation.

Next generation floating platforms and mooring innovations for deep waters

Explore next generation floater designs, hybrid platforms and mooring systems created to deliver reliability in deeper, harsher offshore environments.

Enhance uptime with digital twins, monitoring and AI-driven predictive O&M

Leverage digital technologies, advanced data analytics, and real-time monitoring solutions to improve maintenance efficiency and minimise offshore downtime.

Addressing permitting, regulation and environmental impact in offshore wind

Deep dive into evolving regulatory frameworks, environmental considerations, and permitting challenges shaping floating wind development across European waters.
