Summary of the 2024 edition

GoInterHub (Galician Offshore International Hub) is an event that cements Ferrol’s position as one of the leading forums for knowledge and outreach in the offshore wind sector. It has already established itself as one of the sector’s key international events, bringing representatives from the market’s leading players to Ferrol and attracting more than 400 companies and professionals at each edition.

The main aim of the event is to highlight the enormous growth potential of the offshore wind market, the progress this industry is making in Galicia, and the benefits it can bring in areas such as job creation.

The Galician Offshore International Hub aims to raise awareness of the industry’s development in the coming years and the business opportunities it presents for the Galician metal sector, as well as to promote the offshore industry globally and help create a more innovative—and therefore more competitive—Galicia for the entire sector in the future.
