May I welcome you to join us and participate in the second WorldWind Energy Conference and Renewable Energy Exhibition takingplace from 23 — 26 November 2003 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Wind energy has become widely recognised as a source of energythat can contribute substantially to a clean, affordable andsustainable energy supply system. The world community has setwind energy — like all renewable energies — on the agenda forsustainable development. The concluding statement of the EarthSummit in Johannesburg 2002 placed renewable energy as thefuture high priority obligation for the international community inthe transition from fossil fuels and atomic energy to cleanenergies, particularly benefiting the many millions living in theunserved areas in developing countries.

Astonishing technological progress is being made by way ofconstantly improved, economically efficient, multi–megawattwind turbines as well as new, off–shore applications. This hasgiven wind energy a status as a future primary energy carrierwhich nobody could anticipate just a few years ago.

The WWEC 2003 will tackle the full range of wind energy subjectsand will especially focus on developing strategies and instrumentsfor wind energy in less– and non–industrialised countries. Theadaptation of successful technologies and strategies to specificregional and local conditions will be the central theme of ourconference. We invite the world wind community to participate inthis transfer and dissemination of expertise and bring theirsuccess stories and encouragement.

Situated at the foot of Table Mountain, Cape Town is considered bymany to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Centrallylocated on Cape Town’s foreshore, the newly opened Cape TownConvention Centre offers state–of–the–art equipment providing avenue above all expectations.

We are looking forward to a conference that will open newwindows for the global breakthrough of wind energy in all yourcountries.

Dr Preben MaegaardPresident, The World Wind Energy Association

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?Over six hundred delegates and speakers are expected to attendfrom both developed and developing countries in order to sharetheir knowledge and experiences in developing clean andaffordable wind energy supplies as one cornerstone of a futureenergy system completely based on renewable energies.

Delegate profiles include:

• government and municipal officials and politicians

• entrepreneurs and individuals involved in energyproduction, distribution, product design andmanufacture

• researchers and academics

• environmental planning and protection agencies

• consulting engineers, architects and planners
