As geopolitical uncertainty sharpens the focus on energy security, Global Offshore Wind 2026 will bring together industry leaders, policymakers and innovators to explore how offshore wind can help secure a more resilient, sustainable future.

On 16 and 17 June at Manchester Central, RenewableUK is bringing the offshore wind sector and its international supply chain together for Global Offshore Wind 2026, one of the leading events of its kind.

Recognising the future is in our hands, this year’s programme centres on the theme ‘securing the future’. It will see experts and leaders from the worldwide energy sector gather to explore how we can accelerate progress in offshore wind, one of the fastest and lowest cost routes to energy security.

The past year has been marked by geopolitical shocks that are testing energy systems and economies around the world. Against this backdrop, the building of new renewable capacity is not just a climate imperative, but an important tool for boosting energy security by reducing exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets.

In the long term, offshore wind continues to be a powerful tool for creating more resilient energy systems, lowering costs, creating good jobs and boosting economies.

At Global Offshore Wind 2026, you can expect over 5,000 attendees from more than 40 countries, around 200 exhibitors and over 150 informative conference and theatre sessions. This setting provides the perfect opportunity for meeting new partners, learning and professional development, all whilst preparing the sector to secure the future of offshore wind.
