Session description This session on regional development and job creation will cover the potential impact of the offshore wind industry on the regional economy of coastal areas of Europe. The various regions with offshore plans have different sets of capabilities, challenges and needs. The development of the North Sea region is an example of strong manufacturing capacity and maritime sectors but also a place where maritime potential is at present insufficiently used. In particular, the session will look at skills shortages and training needs, supply chain requirements, and potential synergies with traditional offshore industries, particularly oil and gas. The central question is how to foster/accelerate more regional development across Europe based on this unique set of capabilities, and the opportunity that the climate change challenge presents. |
