5th Marine & Offshore Renewables Forum 2026

The focus of this year’s conference is about exchanging perspectives and managing the momentum of the energy transition with respect to the Marine and Offshore Renewables ecosystem.

Especially in light of increasing policy and investment uncertainty caused by the rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, the pace of the committed energy transition trajectory is slowing down. This change of pace can be both a problem and an opportunity. The aim is for forward-looking perspectives to be contextualised to the reality of the present, inviting discussions on the bottlenecks and constraints that impact the desired shifts.

By bringing together a diverse range of perspectives, the Marine and Offshore Renewable Energy Forum (MORF) aims to foster knowledge-sharing, identify best practices, and catalyse the development of innovative solutions that will shape the future of this dynamic industry.

Key Discussion Topics

Policy & Investment: Navigating uncertainty and enabling policy certainty in a changing geopolitical landscape.
Bottlenecks & Constraints: Identifying challenges impacting desired shifts and the overall energy transition trajectory.
Asset & Manpower Readiness: Addressing capacity limitations required to execute projects and manage assets.
Novel Technologies: Exploring new infrastructure to support the momentum of energy transitions.
