Harvesting the gold in regional collaboration – The key to driving economic value in the offshore wind supply chain in APAC
Show Notes

 The APAC region is experiencing rapid growth in many markets. Nations in the region are starting to exploit their natural wind resources, especially in offshore. But as countries come to terms with this opportunity, we are also seeing familiar patterns emerge in relation to the challenges each market grapples with before the market can truly reach its potential. 

This episode looks to provide some insight into the local supply chain developments & local content requirements in the markets. Hosts Stewart Mullin and David Lenti are joined by 
Danish Ambassador to Korea Einar Jensen for a deep dive into the Korean wind market, which shows a huge opportunity for the global wind industry. 

The country is extremely committed to delivering on their National Determined Contributions (NDCs) and driving the green energy transition. But what will it cost to succeed in Korea? How should companies engage with the local supply chain? Will we see a sector deal like we have seen in other markets where government and industry come together to accelerate a smooth transition? All of these questions and more will be answered in this fire side chat.
