The 4th Korea-Norway Offshore Wind Business Forum

Scheduled for 20–21 October 2026 in Seoul, South Korea: the business forum is on 20 October, followed by optional B2B meetings on 21 October. The forum has drawn about 80–100 Norwegian and Korean participants annually since its 2023 launch, including developers, government agencies, EPC contractors, shipowners, suppliers, and power companies. The 2026 focus is bilateral offshore-wind cooperation, especially early-phase engineering, geoscience/physical engineering, seabed mooring, and marine installation and operations.

The 20 October package includes the forum and networking reception, introductions to Korean offshore-wind stakeholders, and discussion of areas for Norway–Korea cooperation; listed price NOK 5,000; application deadline 5 October. B2B applications had a 28 September deadline and were limited to ten firms on a first-come basis. Applicants receive an online interview to align desired counterparts; meetings depend on company profile, counterpart interest/availability, and logistics, with approximately three meetings per Norwegian company typical. Cost depends on meetings arranged; the page gives approximately NOK 11,000 for three, separate from the forum fee. Travel and accommodation are excluded. Organizer: Innovation Norway. Partners: Royal Norwegian Embassy in Seoul and Korea Wind Energy Industry Association. Contact: Gunn Kim, Senior Market Advisor (gunn.kim@innovationnorway.no).
