Why WindEurope?
WindEurope is one of Europe’s largest exhibitions and conferences focussed on both the onshore and offshore wind sector.
WindEurope has joined forces again with the city of Copenhagen and its Danish partners to deliver another wide-ranging industry gathering – Wind Europe’s Annual Event 2025 in Copenhagen.
Denmark is the birthplace of wind energy and the Danes are still breaking new wind power records right across the board. Denmark is the only country in Europe to source more than half of their electricity from wind – up to 55%. Wind Europe broke attendance records in 2023 with close to 16,000 participants and are expecting to confirm this trend in 2025
