WindEnergy Conference and Exhibition launched in Singapore to accelerate growth of renewables in Asia-Pacific

Hamburg, Germany, 27 November 2025 – DN Media Group AS (RECHARGE), Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH (HMC), Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on a series of wind energy conferences and exhibitions in Singapore from 2026 to 2029. The signing ceremony was witnessed by the First Mayor of Hamburg, Dr. Peter Tschentscher and Singapore’s Ambassador to Germany Mr Lee Chong Hock. Under the MOU, EnterpriseSG and STB will support RECHARGE and HMC to organise (i) the 2-day RECHARGE Wind Power Summit Asia-Pacific powered by WindEnergy Hamburg in Singapore in 2026, and (ii) the flagship 3-day WindEnergy Asia-Pacific powered by RECHARGE¹ in Singapore in 2027 and 2029.

Wind energy stands at an inflection point in Asia-Pacific (APAC) where countries with abundant wind resources such as Australia, India, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and Vietnam have unveiled wind energy targets and rolled out feasibility studies and auctions. The region is currently the largest wind market with 607.5 gigawatts of wind power installed in 2024². Offshore wind, with its ability to deliver renewable energy on the gigawatt scale, has particularly emerged as a promising technology to meet APAC’s growing demand for secure, sustainable and affordable energy. The region is expected to see 50 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity come online by 2034³, accounting for over 60% of new global offshore wind capacity additions.  

To unlock the full potential of wind power in APAC, coordinated efforts between governments, industry and academia are required to encourage greater dialogue, best practice exchange and collaboration. The WindEnergy Asia-Pacific and RECHARGE Wind Power Summit Asia-Pacific events will establish platforms for stakeholders to convene and create opportunities to accelerate the rollout of offshore and onshore wind in APAC and beyond. The events also represent a significant milestone in Singapore’s ambition to become the leading offshore wind hub in APAC with industry expertise, thought leadership and trusted partnerships connecting global players with regional capabilities.

The MOU was signed today during the RECHARGE Wind Power Summit 2025 powered by WindEnergy Hamburg in Hamburg, marking WindEnergy Hamburg`s first expansion outside Europe. The partnership will leverage the success and global reach of WindEnergy Hamburg – the world’s leading wind industry event organiser with 1,600 exhibitors and 43,000 participants from 100 countries, and Recharge – the top global source for renewable energy news and business intelligence.  The events will drive APAC’s wind industry growth and bring together global and regional companies in the global offshore wind supply chains. Attendees can expect to participate in conferences and trade fairs, plenaries, roundtables, networking sessions as well as site visits to Singapore’s leading offshore wind supply chain companies. These activities aim to facilitate business development, policy dialogue and knowledge exchange among global industry leaders, policymakers, financiers, innovators and regional supply chain players.

Mr. Soh Leng Wan, Assistant Managing Director for Manufacturing, Enterprise Singapore said, “Singapore is committed to leading Asia-Pacific’s offshore wind development, which is crucial to the region’s clean energy transition. We have been propelling growth of the industry through innovation, standards development, and supply chain enhancements. These events provide us with an additional platform to drive more strategic partnerships with key industry stakeholders. We invite global offshore wind players to join us as we collectively advance the industry across APAC.”

Mr. Poh Chi Chuan, Executive Director, Exhibitions & Conferences, Singapore Tourism Board said, “As a strategic Global-Asia node for business and innovation, Singapore serves as an important gateway for organisations worldwide to access the dynamic Asia-Pacific region. Hosting Singapore’s first dedicated wind energy exhibition not only positions Singapore as a leading sustainable urban destination, it also contributes to global sustainability efforts. Our commitment reaffirms Singapore’s position as the World's Best MICE City. We look forward to welcoming global industry leaders to Singapore, where they will shape the future of offshore wind growth.”

Mr Baard Haugen, CEO DN Media Group said, “RECHARGE is proud to help power the energy transition in Asia Pacific by connecting global expertise with regional opportunity. This strategic alignment reflects the strong appeal of Singapore's business events ecosystem, bringing together global leaders and decision-makers for meaningful dialogue that accelerates wind energy growth across the region.”

Mr. Heiko M. Stutzinger, CEO Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH said, “WindEnergy Asia-Pacific powered by RECHARGE will bring together the best of global and regional expertise, offering unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and business development. Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH with WindEnergy Hamburg as the world’s leading event for the on & offshore wind industry will market the new conference and exhibition to its global network.
