The Wind Energy Agency Bremerhaven/Bremen (WAB) was founded in 2002. To date, almost 150 companies and institutes have joined the association as members. The goal of WAB is to support the wind energy network of the region and beyond with organizational and technical expertise. WAB’s work focuses on the future development of the use of offshore wind energy and repowering measures in coastal areas. WAB helps its members to develop innovative projects and structures, offers expert seminars and hosts conferences. WAB also assists the sector in its lobbying, public relations and marketing activities. WAB is financed by EU funds and Bremen/Bremerhaven.
CEwind is the wind energy research network of the universities in Schleswig-Holstein. Its goal is to ensure a sustainable transfer of competences between science and industry. Its major tasks are to initiate and carry out research and development projects, to provide technical support in innovation plans, to arrange further academic education and to create and develop networks in the wind energy sector. The network’s members are working on ten research projects, with the main focus on the field of offshore wind energy. CEwind is supported by the government of Schleswig-Holstein and the European Social Fund.
ForWind is the wind energy research centre of the University of Oldenburg and Hanover.
