IQPC Series

The race for ever bigger wind turbines, especially for the offshore market, is creating challenging

impacts on the development of corresponding rotor blades. Advanced aerodynamic and structural

designs, new or optimised materials as well as cost-effective manufacturing technologies are

required to advance performance whilst coping with the severe pressure on cost control.

This conference will bring you insights from the leading companies’ of the wind energy industry

like Siemens Wind Power A/S, Vestas Wind Systems A/S, GE Energy, SGL Technology GmbH and

many more. SponsorshipWe have a variety of

packages available to

suit your requirements. For all
