For the first time, Greece participated with a national pavilion at WindEnergy Hamburg 2026, the leading international exhibition for wind energy, which took place in Hamburg from September 22 to 25.
Enterprise Greece organized the Greek delegation, in which 10 Greek companies with a strong export profile participated, while at the same time it held business meetings with international companies that are exploring or developing renewable energy projects in the country.
As the relevant announcement notes, WindEnergy Hamburg 2026 attracted more than 40,000 visitors from over 100 countries, as well as more than 1,600 exhibitors from approximately 40 countries.
The agenda was dominated by offshore wind, Europe’s energy security and autonomy, as well as the development of resilient European supply chains for renewable energy equipment. Also discussed were the challenges arising from the rapid penetration of renewables into electricity grids, the need for faster integration of energy storage, and the importance of effective licensing procedures, with emphasis on innovation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence applications.
The Greek companies that participated in WindEnergy Hamburg presented a wide range of products, technologies, and services for the sector: from metal structures, cables, and electrical equipment, to substations and medium-voltage systems, installation and maintenance services for wind turbines and subsea projects, as well as digital solutions with artificial intelligence, computer vision, and sensors.
Their presence strengthened the international visibility of the Greek market and created networking and collaboration opportunities in the dynamically growing wind energy sector.
Enterprise Greece’s meetings with international companies focused on the investment opportunities of the green transition in Greece and specifically on offshore wind farms, the strengthening of electricity grids, and energy storage infrastructure. Investors’ interest confirms the momentum of the Greek energy sector and Greece’s strengthening role as a regional energy hub in Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean.
Referring to Greece’s presence at the exhibition, the CEO of Enterprise Greece, Dr. Marinos Giannopoulos, stated: “Greece’s first national participation in WindEnergy Hamburg 2026, one of the most important events in the sector, confirms the strategic importance we attach to promoting the country as an attractive destination for investments in the green transition.
The strong presence of Greek companies and the intense international investment interest in renewable energy projects highlight the capabilities of the Greek energy ecosystem. With the goal of climate neutrality by 2050, wind energy is a key pillar of the energy transition, and offshore wind is acquiring an increasingly greater role in the country’s energy mix. Enterprise Greece will continue to support the international promotion of Greek companies and the attraction of investments that strengthen Greece’s position on the European and regional energy map.”
