Holland Home of Wind Energy (HHWE) is joining forces with maritime trade body NMT-IRO in a mission to strengthen the Dutch offshore wind sector on the international stage.
Wind energy export organisation HHWE approved the merger during an extraordinary general meeting, and it will take effect from 1 January 2026.
NMT-IRO director Jeroen de Graaf said: “This merger creates a stronger, more unified representation of the Dutch offshore wind sector abroad.
“By combining our knowledge, networks and initiatives, we increase our impact and are better positioned to support the international growth ambitions of our members.”
HHWE chairman Wim Jenniskens added: “This is a strategic alliance that unites the strongest players in the Dutch maritime, offshore and renewable sectors.
“Together, we’re building a powerful platform for the future.”
The partners said the merger will offer a raft of benefits such as greater efficiency and visibility in international trade missions and exhibitions, a broader network for members, and increased impact in public affairs, communication and strategic positioning.
Leading up to the merger, the HHWE team will gradually integrate into the NMT-IRO office.
A joint member briefing will be held in September to provide more information on the next steps.
