Description
Ports play a central role in the success of offshore renewable energy projects. Their ability to accommodate, assemble, store, and ship oversized components directly affects the pace and competitiveness of industrial deployment. As European ambitions accelerate, ports must tackle challenges related to infrastructure development, investment, and coordination with industrial stakeholders. How can infrastructure be adapted to meet the demands of new projects? What regional cooperation models should be implemented? This session will highlight the strategic role of ports as true industrial platforms for the offshore energy transition.
