My very first day in Neumünster and my first presentation as an independent consultant under my label Offshore Wind Kommunikation at the GATEWAY49 Energy Industry ClusterDay:
Many thanks to Dr. Elisabeth Eggert from Gateway 49 and SWN Stadtwerke Neumünster for the cordial invitation to hold a keynote speech. The event was opened by Morris May, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Neumünster, followed by Stefan Stengel, Program Director of GATEWAY49.
After my keynote speech on “Energy transition and transformation: focus on offshore wind energy”, I was impressed by the pitches from Prof. Dr. Alexandra K. Mikityuk from Staex and Holger Prang from ANN RADAR. The panel discussion, in which I was able to participate together with Morris May and Felix Mertens from NAECO Blue GmbH, moderated by Dr. Elisabeth Eggert, highlighted the different perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of the energy transition in Germany and the associated regulatory framework, also in the European context. Transformation means change and rethinking in many areas.
That’s why I find the different perspectives of new and existing players in the energy industry particularly interesting.
I think it is important that start-ups receive meaningful support so that they can advance the sustainable energy system with their new ideas. The subsequent get-together with all participants offered good opportunities for networking. Many thanks to the great organization and to all participants.
