Connecting you<br />

Since 2002, the <strong>Wind</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> Agency Bremerhaven/Bremen (WAB), which is partly<br />

funded by the City of Bremen, has formed a network of businesses, researchers and public<br />

authorities in the wind energy industry. More than 200 members have now joined the<br />

WAB network, and membership keeps growing.<br />

nearly all relevant businesses, institutes, government agencies and<br />

research institutes, from emden to hamburg and Cuxhaven to hanover,<br />

are WaB members. The <strong>Wind</strong> energy agency is a networking resource<br />

and a door-opener. anyone new to the region can contact locally based<br />

companies through the team at the WaB office. established businesses<br />

use the events staged by WaB to exchange information and experience<br />

within the industry. The offshore wind energy conference organised by<br />

WaB, “<strong>Wind</strong>force – Direction Offshore”, has now become an established<br />

date in the event calendar of offshore companies in germany and other<br />

countries.<br />

apart from offshore wind energy, WaB focuses on education and training,<br />

the repowering of old wind turbines in northern germany and the<br />

internationalisation of the industry. in addition to producing magazines<br />

and brochures relating to its focus areas, WaB sends its members<br />

a regular newsletter with important wind energy news from the region<br />

and the european offshore wind energy sector.<br />

But there is one thing above all else that WaB offers its members –<br />

excellent connections with businesses and decision-makers in industry<br />

and public administration in the region.
