The wind energy sector is set for continued rapid growth and the UK’s leadership in offshore wind generation is now attracting major industry players to set-up UK operations. In the last few months alone, announcements from Siemens, Mitsubishi, GE, Mabey Bridge and Clipper Windpower have amounted to more than £300 million of investment in UK based manufacturing and research projects.
Harnessing the UK’s abundant wind resources and exploiting its strengths in engineering and R&D will create opportunities for new supply chain partners and attract investors as cleantech innovation gathers pace.
So where are the major areas of opportunity and what are the barriers? This discussion group provides an opportunity to explore the key trends, developments and opportunities for investment and supply chain collaboration.
