WindEnergy Hamburg 2016: The leading international wind energy expo expects more than 1,200 exhibitors


WindEnergy Hamburg, the leading international wind industry expo, will be held for the second time from 27 to 30 September 2016. Following the successful premiere in 2014, the Hamburg Fair site will again be the meeting point for decision makers in the energy business from all parts of the world. WindEnergy Hamburg covers the whole value chain of both the onshore and offshore wind industry, and is expanding this year, with an additional exhibition hall. Some 1,200 exhibitors are expected at WindEnergy Hamburg in September, presenting their innovations on some 65,000 square metres, in a total of nine exhibition halls. This global expo will be opened by its patron Sigmar Gabriel, Germany’s Minister of Economics. This year for the first time, WindEnergy Hamburg is teaming up with EWEA, the European Wind Energy Association, which is holding its Annual Conference in parallel.

“WindEnergy Hamburg gives the industry the ideal platform to prepare international business and close specific deals,” says Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. “A key aspect for the companies is showcasing their latest developments, products and services, and presenting new business models – at the location of Germany as the technology leader. This is also a chance to gain useful leads in new areas of industry, and to set the course for further development of the wind industry itself,” added Aufderheide. WindEnergy is entirely dedicated to the wind industry, and reflects the tremendous innovative power and dynamism of this sector, in both current and future key markets. “This is the showcase for hundreds of companies which are fully engaged in finding solutions for the great challenges of our times – combating climate change, reducing carbon emissions, and transforming our energy markets in an economically viable way.”

Global market, international presence
The major manufacturers involved in this industry globally are keen to present their products and services for the wind market to the international trade audience in Hamburg, and booked their stand space at an early date. They include key international players such as Enercon, Gamesa, GE, Nordex, Senvion, Siemens Wind Power, Vestas and others. A first-time exhibitor from Asia is Envision, a manufacturer currently working mainly in the Chinese market. A number of countries will also have their own national pavilions, e.g. Denmark, Turkey, China, Argentina, the US and Canada, to mention just a few.
