WindEnergy Hamburg is much more than a trade fair – it is the global hub of the wind energy industry. Every two years, it brings together experts, decision-makers, innovators, and visionaries from all over the world in the Hanseatic city to discuss technological developments, political conditions, and economic prospects in the field of wind power. As the world's leading trade fair for onshore and offshore wind energy, it covers the entire value chain – from planning and production to operation and maintenance to integration into energy infrastructures and markets. With over 1,400 exhibitors and around 40,000 visitors from more than 100 countries, WindEnergy Hamburg is the undisputed leading event for the global wind industry.
The trade fair focuses on innovations that further advance the efficiency, economic viability, and sustainability of wind energy. Companies presenting at the exhibition include wind turbine manufacturers, component producers, software developers, service providers, grid operators, investors, and start-ups. Special attention is paid to new turbine generations, improved rotor blade designs, AI-supported maintenance solutions, and modular control systems. Topics such as floating wind, sector coupling, power-to-X technologies, and the expansion of intelligent grid infrastructures are also becoming increasingly important.
A central segment of the trade fair is the offshore sector. In view of the European climate targets and the ambitious expansion plans of many nations, floating wind farms, underwater cabling, and maritime logistics are becoming increasingly important. WindEnergy Hamburg is the meeting place for players involved in offshore projects – from initial planning to operation under extreme conditions. Hamburg as the venue underscores the relevance of the trade fair: the Hanseatic city is located in the middle of one of Europe's most dynamic offshore regions and, with its port, universities, and industrial structure, offers an ideal environment for exchange and innovation.
Wind power is not just technology—it is also part of a complex economic and political system. The trade fair will therefore also feature intensive discussions on issues such as financing, project development, risk hedging, and international trade relations. Whether it's new funding instruments, PPAs (power purchase agreements), supply chain optimization, or the role of hydrogen markets – WindEnergy Hamburg brings together those who are helping to shape the framework conditions and business models of the global energy transition. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in the region will find a comprehensive overview at Hamburg Trade Fair.
Digital tools play a central role in increasing the efficiency of wind farms – whether through predictive maintenance, real-time data analysis, automated inspection systems, or the networking of turbines. Many exhibitors at the trade fair will be demonstrating how data-driven platforms, AI algorithms, and cloud solutions help to optimize operations and reduce costs. Particularly exciting is the use of drones, robotics, and digital twins for monitoring and maintaining wind turbines.
The success of the energy transition depends not only on technology, but also on social support. That is why WindEnergy Hamburg is also dedicated to topics such as citizen participation, skills shortages, education, and acceptance in rural regions. Initiatives and educational programs at the trade fair will show how new job profiles are developing, how companies are designing training programs, and how social dialogue can be strengthened.
The trade fair is accompanied by a high-caliber conference program with over 150 specialist events, keynotes, panels, and matchmaking formats. Topics include offshore megaprojects, cybersecurity, supply chain resilience, market integration, and new materials. The trade fair not only connects European market participants, but also specifically promotes international cooperation – for example, with delegations from North America, Asia, South America, and Africa.
H2EXPO & CONFERENCE, the international platform for hydrogen technologies, will take place parallel to WindEnergy Hamburg. This combination offers unique synergies: wind power as the basis for green hydrogen is a key topic of the energy transition, and the trade fair showcases concrete projects, technologies, and partnerships in this field.
WindEnergy Hamburg is not just a place for showcases – it is the global hub for setting the course in the wind industry. This is where collaborations are formed, contracts are signed, and discussions take place on what the energy supply of the future might look like in concrete terms. At a time when renewable energies are not just an option but a necessity, the trade fair provides guidance, innovation, and a platform for constructive progress.
