Cross-border opportunities for energy independence and green transition
Finland offers one of the most cost-competitive environments for wind energy development with a strong growth
projection. This abundance of clean energy could position Finland as major player in the hydrogen economy.
The German and Danish Embassies, the Finnish-German Chamber of Commerce and the Germany Trade and Invest have the pleasure of inviting you to a forum to discuss how offshore wind and P2X cross-border cooperation in the Baltic Sea region can further energy independence, green transition and green job creation in Finland and the region.
