Husum, 17 September 2015 – Denmark’s foreign minister, Kristian Jensen, is visiting HUSUM Wind today. Besides attending a reception at the Danish pavilion, he will also be visiting a number of other exhibitors. All in all there are exhibitors from 25 countries at the fair. In addition to Denmark there are a number of exhibitors from two other neighbouring countries with growing wind industries, Poland and the Netherlands. This also reflects the importance of the German market for foreign businesses.
As well as foreign minister Jensen, today the fair is also welcoming Ina-Maria Ulbrich, secretary of state in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian Ministry for Energy, Infrastructure and State Development, as well as a delegation from Central Asia.
On this third day of the fair, visitors can expect an ambitious congress programme dealing with current and innovative topics. The German Wind Energy Association is holding a press conference about the much-discussed “Tendering for Wind on Land”. In the foyer of the des NordseeCongressCentrum (NCC) there is a forum dealing with the future role of wind energy in not just the electricity sector, but also in the areas of heating and mobility. HUSUM Wind is also the meeting place for numerous networks and associations. Women of Wind Energy Deutschland, an association that campaigns for a more attractive work field, better career and career-start opportunities for women in the wind industry, uses the fair for a network gathering and its annual general meeting.
The penultimate day closes with the exhibitors’ evening and the Strandkorb Party in the NordseeCongressCentrum, where you can network in a relaxed atmosphere, with live music and traditional HUSUM Wind Beer. Outside the fairground there is an excursion to the Reussenköge communal wind farm, a coastal district with a long wind tradition, and to GP Joule, the enterprise that operates Schleswig-Holstein’s first power-to-gas storage system.
