From 21 to 24 September 2026, the German-Danish Chamber of Commerce (GDCC), Inc. in Copenhagen, on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), organised a four-day delegation trip for United Nations (UN) procurement officers and technical staff to WindEnergy Hamburg.
The delegation focused on the German wind energy sector and provided participants with insights into current technologies, innovative solutions and developments within onshore and offshore wind energy. The programme also created opportunities for direct exchange between UN representatives, German companies and industry experts.
During the four-day programme, participants attended presentations by German wind energy experts, took part in guided visits at WindEnergy Hamburg and met with German companies through scheduled B2B meetings. The delegation also included networking activities and opportunities to exchange experiences and discuss procurement needs and potential cooperation.
Wind energy plays a central role in Germany’s energy transition and is closely connected to international efforts to reduce emissions and advance sustainable energy solutions. The delegation provided an opportunity to explore these developments in practice while strengthening dialogue between UN organisations and the German wind energy industry.
A special thank you to all participating UN representatives, German companies and industry experts for their valuable contributions and exchange throughout the delegation trip.
