The World Forum Offshore Wind (WFO) is First to Foster Global OSW Growth
December 18, 2018 – Business Network for Offshore Wind
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BALTIMORE, MD–Statement by Liz Burdock, President and CEO of the Business Network for Offshore Wind, on the World Forum Offshore Wind announcement:
“Offshore wind has taken off in so many countries during the past two years, especially in the US. New markets are opening, and our success will depend largely upon global coordination and growth of the offshore wind value chain. With over 200 member businesses, the Business Network welcomes the WFO’s role and will be a primary partner with the non-profit as one of 10 founders from around the world. Considering the many challenges facing us as a result of extensive climate change, the Business Network joins the World Forum Offshore Wind to expand activities with other non-profits, the private sector and political positions to help provide a better environment, a stronger economy and a limit on CO2 emissions via offshore wind energy. This means we will do even more to convince elected officials to support offshore wind’s development worldwide. WFO’s first Global Offshore Wind Summit will be in Taipei in March, and we will be there.”
