Offshore Wind Worldwide 2022
Opportunities that often require fast decisions
for projects that might take a decade from
concept to completion; opportunities that –
in unexperienced hands – could have a
dramatic effect on such tremendous potential,
taking the industry back several years, if not
more. Building on solid foundations with
experienced partners should be our
industry’s credo if we want it to be as
sustainable as the world we all aim for.
Writing and reading these words I realize
they might be obsolete in a year’s time, and I
do ultimately hope so. May we talk about
new markets, unthought of installed and
planned capacities, emerging technologies,
and market-transforming companies by next
year. May this industry keep on growing and
changing, may opportunities keep on arising
thanks to the efforts of a few industry
associations and visionary companies – big
and small - working hard at their local level,
5
convinced that doing well and doing good
will never be incompatible. My thoughts,
thanks and encouragements go to them.
