As the energy transition accelerates, Pascal Hofer, Project Manager of HUSUM WIND, shares his perspective on the evolving wind sector. Europe’s leading wind trade fair is no longer just a showcase, it’s a pulse check for the industry. Innovation, policy and cross-border collaboration are converging to shape the future of renewables.
PES: Pascal, a warm welcome to PES. It’s great to have you with us. To begin, tell us about your background and your role at HUSUM WIND; how did your journey lead you to the heart of one of Europe’s most recognised wind energy trade fairs?
Pascal Hofer: Thank you, it’s a pleasure to be here. My professional roots lie in event and exhibition management, and I’ve always been drawn to future-oriented industries. The energy transition, and wind in particular, has fascinated me for years.
I joined Messe Husum & Congress with the ambition of making HUSUM WIND more than just a trade fair: I wanted it to become a pulse check for the industry. As project lead, I oversee the strategic direction, content development, and coordination with industry partners, associations and policymakers. Being at the intersection of innovation, regulation and business is incredibly dynamic and rewarding.
