INITIATIVES FROM THE INDUSTRY IRO, The Association of Dutch Suppliers in the Offshore Energy Industry, has several committees that enable member companies operating with a specific sector to exchange experience and expertise, and to gather information. 1. Oil & Gas (Energy transition, Decommissioning, CCS) 2. Renewables (Offshore Wind, Marine & tidal energy, Geothermia) 3. Innovation & Technology (Digitalisation, Cyber) 4. Sustainability & Safety (Corporate responsibility, Circular economy, Young IRO) 5. International relations & communications.
IRO embraces many initiatives that are aimed at creating a sustainable and responsible industry. Wind & Water Works, the North Sea Energy Program (TNO), NEXSTEP, DMEC, GSES and the Offshore Experience (Maritime Museum Rotterdam) are a few examples of these interesting initiatives which are highlighted below.
THE NETHERLANDS YOUR PARTNER IN OFFSHORE WIND
Dutch Offshore Wind Farm Zones
The Netherlands strives to achieve international climate goals by advancing sustainable energy, with offshore wind power playing a key role. By 2030, Dutch offshore wind capacity will total at least 11.5 GW, supplying significant electricity volumes per year for households and industries.
Centuries of knowledge The Dutch have centuries of experience and in-depth knowledge working offshore, owing to decades of 8

The success of offshore wind in the Netherlands is largely contributable to a powerful public-private partnership as well as to a strong and firmly established supply chain. Through our joint efforts with the industry, the Dutch Government has demonstrated the potential of offshore wind as a powerful and cost-effective solution to achieving our climate and energy objectives, whilst advancing economic and innovation opportunities. The Dutch Approach Dutch public and private parties have teamed up to design, develop, build, and maintain high quality offshore wind farms in the North Sea, one of the busiest sea straits in the world with commercial interests alongside protected wildlife habitats and recreational activities. With four operational wind farms in place, the Offshore Wind Energy Roadmap outlines where new wind farms will be built in the Dutch North Sea up until 2030. This approach provides greater certainty for project developers, increases investor confidence, and drives down overall costs.

worldwide involvement in flood defence, dredging, oil and gas, in addition to a 20-year track record in offshore wind. We are familiar with conditions above and below sea level and have used that knowledge to create a successful Dutch offshore wind energy supply chain. In this chain, small and large companies work with our knowledge institutions to constantly develop innovative solutions for offshore wind farms. With the North Sea in our front yard, we have excellent testing grounds at our doorstep, enabling us to swiftly convert innovation concepts into viable and practical applications to further optimize the use of offshore wind.
