HIH-Vind to strengthen the technological<br />
as well as the commercial ties between the<br />
wind turbine manufacturers and the offshore<br />
industry.<br />
Following several workshops and many<br />
meetings, we are pleased to announce that<br />
this initiative is now materializing into a<br />
