Latest developments for the offshore wind energy and green hydrogen sector were discussed at the IPF Offshore Partnering Forum from April 23 – 25 in New Orleans. Under the umbrella of the German Wind Industry and Hydrogen Association WAB e.V. Broetje-Automation showcased innovative solutions for the factory of future for wind turbine production.
Represented by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection in cooperation with the Trade Fair Committee of German Business the German Pavillon brought together a broad spectrum of competences from many companies along the entire wind energy value chain. “Stronger together” was the leading WAB motto and program for three days of networking!
Cooperation between the Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences, the Economic Development Department of the City of Emden and Broetje-Automation: regional strengthening through collaboration.
Broetje-Automation, the City of Emden’s Economic Development Agency and Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences are embarking on a cooperative path from 22.04.2024 to develop and implement innovative solutions to future challenges in the field of sustainability. This will be driven by the “Sustainable Product Development in Mechanical Engineering” course, which has been offered at Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences since last year.
