Technology Conference 2024
The Danish Offshore Technology Conference 2024 explored the North Sea's potential for Renewable Energy and Opportunities in the Green Transition

The Danish Offshore Technology Conference 2024 successfully brought together industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to explore the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the offshore energy transition. The event focused on the North Sea’s vast potential for sustainable energy production, addressing key questions about optimizing the region while balancing environmental protection and supporting industries such as fishing and shipping.
Participants gained valuable insights into the technologies that will drive the offshore energy transition and discussed strategies for expanding offshore renewable energy, meeting climate targets, and unlocking the North Sea’s full potential. The conference was an important opportunity for knowledge-sharing and collaboration, helping shape the future of offshore energy in Denmark and beyond.
