Driving innovation, extending lifetime and enhancing cost efficiency through predictive design. Installation readiness with data-driven approaches. Geotechnics and soil–structure interaction.
The 14th Annual Offshore Foundations Conference - a part of Wind Week 2026 - is the premier technical meeting point for Europe’s offshore wind engineering community, bringing together leading developers, OEMs, researchers, and designers to address the sector’s most urgent challenges. With turbines rapidly scaling, geotechnical complexity increasing, and digitalisation reshaping engineering workflows, this year’s programme offers unparalleled technical depth — from a full Focus Day on Geotechnics to Deep Dive sessions on load modelling, lifetime extension, and ground investigation. Participants gain actionable, engineering-driven insights through real case studies, novel installation methods, and data-informed design approaches, empowering them to optimise projects, reduce uncertainty, and make better decisions in an accelerating global offshore wind market.
Experience the energy of last year’s Offshore Foundations Conference — where leading engineers, developers, OEMs, and innovators came together to shape the future of offshore wind. From next‑generation foundation design to cutting‑edge geotechnics, digitalisation, and novel installation methods, the event brought rich technical insights, real‑world case studies, and powerful industry connections.
Join us again in 2026 as we go deeper into geotechnics, digital engineering, lifetime extension, and the challenges of scaling next‑gen monopiles. This is where offshore wind’s most brilliant minds meet, collaborate, and move the industry forward.
The IQPC Germany Foundations conference in Bremen is one of my favorite conferences in Offshore Wind: a very high level of technical content and great for meeting experts in the industry.
The 2024 IQPC Germany Substation and Foundation Conference was again the place to be in the Offshore Wind Industry. Great technical Insides and knowledgeable people to discuss the different Topics in Offshore Wind. Excellent organization of the Event. I will for sure attend again in 2025.
It is quite interesting to see how we independently arrive to the same solutions on what centralised/decentralised solutions we need to apply in our teams. This larger consensus is quite an interesting development.
What stands out is that it is a very specialised audience; if you want to meet experts around Foundations or Substations you cannot miss them here!
What I as a political scientist like about this conference is how I can talk with technical engineers about topics of auction design. This makes it multidisciplinary and you can´t find that anywhere.
The focus day was very well visited and I was very happy about it. Looking at new and familiar faces and all these topics gives us the chance to discuss with experts that we wouldn´t under normal circumstances.
I really liked talking about everything around vibrations and monopiles and all these technical topics with all the engineers on site!
My main take-away: a lot of collaboration. All the experts on-site talked about making offshore wind flourish even more and there was a big focus on sustainability. I really enjoyed that.
