© WAB e.V.

The WAB is the leading business network for the wind energy industry in Germany's northwest region and the national point of contact for the offshore wind energy sector in Germany. The association counts more than 300 businesses and institutes among its members, who are active in all areas of the wind energy and maritime industries and in research.

WAB's goals are to bring its members together and strengthen the network, to expand wind energy at sea and on land, to develop the offshore wind industry in Germany, and to advance repowering in the northwest region.

WAB assists its members in finding the right business partners and offers a variety of services and activities with this in mind. WAB is present at international trade fairs, holds expert seminars, commissions studies, conducts market analyses, carries out extensive lobby and public relations work, initiates and sees through research and educational projects, and sponsors study trips. Each year WAB organises the international offshore “WINDFORCE”. It also regularly hosts network get-togethers and receptions for international delegations, and arranges tours of production facilities. WAB also takes up the political challenges facing the wind energy industry, supporting activities that bring forward public debate on relevant issues at local, state and national levels of policy-making.

WAB is financially supported by the German State of Bremen.
