Startup City Hamburg’s Post

🌟 Exciting times ahead! 🚀 We are honoured and excited to be a part of the launch of the Norwegian Offshore Wind Accelerator alongside the all-star team led by Narve Hansen. It's not just an event; it's the dawn of a new era in holistically accelerating the innovation ecosystem for offshore wind. At PA Consulting, we're innovators at heart. Our ethos is about breathing life into ingenuity through the seamless integration of our expert teams of strategists, consultants, and technologists. We are excited to be part of this electrifying journey. It's more than just offshore wind for us. We're talking about a future where borders fade, where technologies collide, and where the energy and power systems, and the players in it, look nothing like it is today; a future crafted by cutting-edge solutions in energy storage, hydrogen, mobility, industries, and beyond. The beauty of Norwegian Offshore Wind's approach lies in its audacity to challenge the norm, its ambition on nurturing a end-to-end innovation ecosystem and engaging with new, full, digital *and* physical landscapes to accelerate innovation. 🌍 Be part of reshaping the future of energy together, NOW.
