Poly Consulting at WindEurope 2025

This week’s WindEurope Annual Event in Copenhagen brought the wind industry together in the best possible way. With over 15,000 professionals gathered at the Bella Center, the event was a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones, and engage in thoughtful discussions about where the sector is headed. For Poly Consulting, it was both a rewarding and energizing experience to be part of it all.

Conversations That Matter

One of the highlights of the week was the strong presence and energy in the Danish Pavilion. The space felt like a natural meeting point for many of the industry’s most forward-thinking companies. We had valuable conversations with teams from many of the key companies making their mark on the global wind industry, exchanging perspectives on everything from floating wind development, exciting new technology developments for service & maintenance to the role of industrial clusters and infrastructure planning.

It’s always a privilege to spend time with such skilled and committed professionals, sharing what we have learned and exploring how we might collaborate going forward. The openness, curiosity, and problem-solving mindset we encountered across the pavilion were truly motivating.

Starting on the Right Note

The week began with a well-attended cocktail reception hosted by WindEurope and Green Power Denmark. It set the tone for the days ahead, relaxed, engaging, and full of opportunities to connect. Events like these remind us that much of the industry’s momentum comes not only from formal deals and strategies, but also from the relationships and trust built in informal settings.

Themes and Insights: Offshore Wind in Focus

Across the conference sessions, several themes came through clearly. The scale-up of offshore wind remains both a challenge and an opportunity, with discussions centred on grid access, permitting processes, supply chain coordination, and integration with hydrogen and other sectors.

There was also a strong emphasis on industrial partnerships and cross-border collaboration. As projects grow more complex, the ability to align technical, regulatory, and financial stakeholders across geographies will be key. The discussions echoed many of the issues we work on at Poly Consulting, structuring partnerships, enabling consortia, and helping navigate infrastructure projects from a very early-stage strategy through to delivery.

Supporting Inclusion and Visibility

The “Women in Energy” networking event hosted by Vattenfall was another standout. It offered a dedicated space for women across the sector to connect, share insights, and reflect on professional pathways. Later in the week, the women in energy event by WiRED and co-hosted by DNV expanded the conversation further, highlighting the value strategic corporate diversity initiatives, as well as managerial and peer support and awareness in creating more inclusive workplaces.

A Valuable Week for the Sector

Leaving Copenhagen, we are reminded of just how important these gatherings are, to meet our valued clients, for new business development, but also for fostering the kind of shared understanding and collaboration that the energy transition requires. It was a pleasure to spend time with so many committed professionals, hear new perspectives, and begin conversations that we hope will lead to future partnerships.

WindEurope 2025 was a great moment for the industry and we look forward to building on the ideas, insights, and relationships sparked throughout the week.
