The North Sea Energy Community at the 26th World Energy Congress in Rotterdam

The North Sea and its associated ecosystem on land, form the European energy hub where a variety of parties, industries and technologies come together. The cooperation and innovation taking place in this area are unique examples for the rest of the world. In a region originally steeped in the legacy of fossil fuels, our North Sea Energy community stands as a pioneer, steering towards a future of renewable and clean energy. 

Representing the broad array of developments along the North Sea’s shores, our dynamic network brings together diverse stakeholders committed to unlocking the region’s vast potential and collaborating on ground-breaking energy solutions. The North Sea offers an important testing ground when it comes to energy development and the aspects relevant to it, such as safety, nature inclusiveness and biodiversity protection, circularity, and digitalisation. The cooperation taking place here – both between industries and government, and both at sea and on land – sets an example for the rest of the world.  

As the North Sea Energy Community, we aim to be more than just a coalition. We are a visionary force aligning nations, corporations, knowledge centres, and non-profit organisations in a mission to redesign energy for both people and the planet. More than a cluster of green initiatives, we embody international cooperation, innovation, and environmental stewardship. Through collaborative research, policy coordination, and cross-sector partnerships, we facilitate critical thinking, drive positive change, and ignite inspiration. 

Our influence spans beyond the North Sea, reaching the full energy ecosystem. From the global supply chain over international waters connecting us to the world, to the pivotal transitions in our valuable North Sea, the redesigning of our ports, and our clients deep inland in Northwest Europe—we form a chain of innovation that shapes the entire energy landscape. 

Let’s join forces in April 2024 during the 26th World Energy Congress in Rotterdam, where we unveil our journey of redesigning energy for people and planet. The World Energy Congress offers the much-needed integral perspective on the energy transition. Prepare to be captivated by our successes, innovations, and breakthrough moments and to exchange knowledge across countries, across sectors and across disciplines. We seek to inspire and be inspired. Our presence at the Congress will foster a global exchange of ideas that propels us further towards a sustainable energy future.
