With the Baltic Offshore Wind Forum, Germany provides a platform under its Council of Baltic Sea States (CBSS) presidency to bring together key stakeholders from across the Baltic Sea region to discuss the development of offshore wind energy in in the context of geopolitical changes. Discussions will focus on critical issues at the intersection of energy and security policies, such as resilient and interconnected infrastructure, manufacturing capacities or space requirements in the Baltic Sea region.

Jointly organised by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and the German Energy Agency (dena), this high-level forum is an important initiative to give a boost to Baltic offshore wind energy.

The Forum will be opened by Annalena Baerbock, Foreign Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Foreign Minister of Denmark.

The Council of the Baltic Sea States was founded in 1992. Its members are the eight countries bordering the Baltic Sea: Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Sweden, as well as Iceland, Norway and the EU. On 1 July 2022, Germany assumed the presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States for one year.

Registration is possible until May, 2nd 2023. The event will be held in English.
