The Japanese government aims to deploy 6GW of offshore wind capacity by the end of 2025 and 30-45GW by 2040, including floating wind, as part of its goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The need for international expertise to realize these ambitions is widely acknowledged in Japan, which offers enormous opportunities also for Dutch wind energy companies.

In Japan, the Netherlands is recognized as reliable partner for offshore wind cooperation. Since 2014, Holland Home of Wind Energy (HHWE), supported by the Dutch government, has built up a widespread network at many levels within the Japanese wind energy industry.

To further explore the opportunities for the Dutch wind sector and generate visibility within the Japanese sector, HHWE, together with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Tokyo, Japan, and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) will set up a Netherlands Lounge at the Wind Expo Tokyo 2025 (WET) from February 19-21, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan.

Netherlands Lounge

We will set up a Netherlands Lounge, in which every participant will get individual exposure as well. The total floor area of the Lounge will be 100sqm, located at an central spot of the WET exhibition floor (check floorplan here), and can accommodate up to 24 companies. See photos below for an impression of the Netherlands Lounge at the Wind Expo Tokyo March 2023 edition.

The following services are included:

• Fully equipped joint Netherlands booth with customized branding;
• Own poster desk for each participating company (poster dimensions around 950mm W x 1730mm H), with space for company brochures;
