Conference

The GOWS-J 2025 conference was held under the theme “The Current State of Offshore Wind Power in Japan.” It reflected on the progress of domestic offshore wind development since the launch of the public-private cooperation conference and highlighted four key current challenges.

The conference also featured practical discussions, including an international comparison of Japan’s offshore wind policy (Intergovernmental Panel), a session on international cooperation and human resource development, and a session on floating technology for the future.
