The North Sea region has a long history as a source of fossil energy. The last decades have however also seen a massive expansion of offshore wind power capacities. Thanks to high wind speeds, shallow waters and pioneers from the region, a world-leading industry has developed here enabling increasingly sustainable energy systems. Political and economic decision-makers are aiming for a rapid multiplication of capacities through the Esbjerg and Ostend declarations. The topic of hydrogen production in and around the North Sea is also high on the agenda.

We have a huge task ahead of us to achieve these goals, but by pooling our skills, the North Sea countries can become the new powerhouse of Europe and show the world the path to green growth. At the summit, we aim to elevate the political and industrial dialogue to identify the next steps and necessary framework.
