The 10th edition of the Offshore Day focuses on how the European offshore sector should adapt to the changing political and economic climate. Additional roles for energy companies in defence, infrastructure, and cross-border cooperation, paired with the latest advancements that will allow the offshore sector to source more from the continent. The potential of the sea for our growing energy demand cannot be ignored and needs to be developed at speed, despite difficult times! How can we counteract, cooperate, adapt, innovate, and eventually overcome these challenges?
Offshore Day is a yearly high-level conference that brings together industry leaders, decision-makers, and experts in the field of offshore energy. It’s a platform for in-depth discussions and insights into the strategic aspects of offshore energy, focusing on the development, deployment, and management of offshore energy resources.

Here is the schedule for Offshore Day: Energy at SEA. Click on the topics for more info.
by professional moderator Rogier Elshout
Hot topic of this era: defending subsea infrastructure . What will the role be for Public-Private Partnerships? Will that be a succesful mode of cooperation for offshore energy? How can you keep your assets secure? And is this a big investment opportunity for the offshore sector?
Panel with among others:
- Eduard de van der Schueren, Air Commodore at Ministry of Defence and Program Director Security North Sea Infrastructure at Ministry of Infrastructure & Water Management
- Lisa Kettle, Director Nemolink and Security Lead, National Grid
- Eloïse Couffon, Policy Officer, European Commission
Now more than ever do we need to insure the continuance of the energy transition against changing legislatures. Uncertainty in policy and political outlooks are one of the main factors driving up estimated financial risks in offshore projects. How can we design the market to incentivize action and investment, even if future governments deprioritize climate and the energy transition?
Diederik Samsom, Former Head of Cabinet DG CLIMA (EU)
Exploring how combining the demand and supply, market-design, and aligning strategies and policies surrounding both sectors can create a more sustainable and resilient European market.
Panel with among others:
- Jan Dirk Van Loon, Senior Director Net Zero Strategy and Execution Europe, LyondellBasell
- Hans van der Weijde, Director R&D, TATA Steel
- Ruben Dijkstra, CEO NL Ørsted
- Robert Eikelenboom, Director Offshore Wind, Eneco
Windmills are changing and so are their value chains. Recycled materials and ‘skinny’ structure design enable more manufacturing to take place in Europe, more strategic autonomy, and more business opportunities for the wind and offshore sector.
- Milan Veljkovic, Professor, TU Delft
- Hans van der Weijde, Director R&D, TATA Steel
Wind, gas, hydrogen, shipping, and CCS all need space and adequate connection to infrastructure. As we venture deeper into the sea and closer to EEZ borders, how can we organise international governance and business to avoid double or unnecessary certification, infrastructure, planning, and other bureaucracy, so that we can continue headwards at full speed?
Panel with:
- Gerda Verburg, Former Minister and Current Chairwoman, Element NL
- Sybilla Dekker, Former Minister and Current Chairwomen, North Sea Agreement
- Annet Koster, Managing Director, Royal Dutch Association of Shipowners
