Norway pavilion at Global Offshore Wind Summit 2024
- Team Norway pavilion and side events ran 3–4 September 2024 at Sapporo Convention Center, Japan. Organiser: Innovation Norway. Partners: Norwegian Embassy in Tokyo, Norwegian Energy Partners and Norwegian Offshore Wind. Contact: Marianne Støren Berg (marianne.storen.berg@innovationnorway.no). Industries: offshore wind and energy.
- Exhibitor package included pavilion logo/video promotion, Norway-booth presence, matchmaking support, exhibitor passes, stand build/removal/management, Norway marketing-channel listings and a pitching/speaking slot in the 3 September North Sea seminar (“Lessons learned,” co-hosted with the Dutch Embassy), 16:00–17:45. A Norway–Japan seminar/networking event was scheduled for 4 September, 12:00–13:00. B2B-meeting arrangements before/after the event could be requested.
- Booth/seminar package was about NOK 10,000 excluding VAT, intended to cover pavilion direct costs; final amount depended on NOK/JPY exchange rate and exhibitor count. Applications became binding at the 15 July deadline. Travel/lodging and separate conference/dinner tickets were additional costs. The page says GOWS was an annual business conference/exhibition organised by Global Wind Energy Council and Japan Wind Power Association, with 700 participants the previous year.
- Market context given: Japan was pursuing 10 GW offshore wind by 2030 and 45 GW by 2040, including floating wind, and was opening its EEZ for projects. The page notes the first bottom-fixed Japanese offshore wind farm began operating that year at Ishikari Bay New Port and identifies Hokkaido candidate floating-wind areas. No attendee/exhibitor roster is displayed. ESG and responsible-business due-diligence conditions applied.
