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 5th Marine & Offshore Renewables Forum aims to foster knowledge-sharing, identify best practices, and catalyse the development of innovative solutions that will shape the future of this dynamic industry.
