From Aberdeen to Nagasaki 🇯🇵 We're at the Global Offshore Wind Summit Japan 2026, where the focus is on unlocking Japan's significant offshore wind potential and overcoming the challenges of delivering projects in deeper, more complex waters.
Building on the discussions at , the priorities are clear. Greater technology choice, turbine flexibility and smarter foundation design will be critical to reducing costs, managing risk and accelerating deployment. For Japan, where challenging seabed conditions and deep coastal waters create both opportunities and constraints, these considerations are particularly important. Getting the technology and project design right from the start is essential.
Our CTO, Graham Foster, spoke at the event, exploring how innovative approaches can help turn Japan's offshore wind ambitions into practical, deliverable projects.
A big thank you to Welsh Government and Goro Okada for their support and for helping strengthen connections between Wales and Japan. A clear opportunity to take offshore wind further.
