Finland and the Netherlands: Linked by Offshore Wind
In September 2024, a cluster of Dutch offshore wind companies and technology experts was established, cooperating in a Partners for International Businesses (PIB) public-private partnership, named 'Linked by Offshore Wind' (LBOW). Through this cluster, the Netherlands aims to share knowledge and expertise with the Finish businesses and government in the energy sector. By actively collaborating with local partners, the LBOW cluster companies focus on teamwork, collaboration, and innovation to help ensure that future offshore wind farms in Finland have an economical, safely operated, and sustainable future.
Together, we can prove that offshore wind is a powerful and cost-effective solution to achieve climate goals while effectively contributing to economic opportunities through renewable energy and securing energy safety for the region. Ultimately, this leads to high certainty for project developers, increased investor confidence, and lower overall costs. With Finland’s energy ambitions aligning with the Netherlands, we can contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable planet.

Our vision
The Netherlands is strongly committed to achieving international climate agreements, but we know we can’t do it alone.
