The World’s Leading Wind Energy Trade Fair
well to visit the Windcareer job fair on Saturday 25 September, where prospective employers have the chance to meet prospective employees, and vice versa. “This is always a good gauge of how well the industry is doing,” says Windcareer co-ordinator Katharina Gross. “We are expecting a 20% increase in exhibitors for 2010, with participation by companies from Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the UK, Finland and The Netherlands.” This year’s Windcareer is now an official partner of the German Ministry of Research and Technology initiative ‘Science Year 2010: The Future of Energy’. All of the talks and presentations at this year’s congress will also be recorded, so that anyone unable to attend a particular event will be able to view them online. Details of the Virtual Congress, and how to gain access to it, are available on the HUSUM WindEnergy website.
Women of Wind Energy
Always at the forefront of new developments, this year’s HUSUM WindEnergy is also hosting the first meeting of the Women of Wind Energy (WoWE) to be held on European soil. The first WoWE luncheon was held during WINDPOWER in Denver in May 2005, attended by 120 guests, but within a year this networking organisation had extended beyond an annual lunch meeting. Local chapters were soon formed and regional meetings held across the US. In 2006, WoWE launched its online mentoring programme, geared specifically to women in the wind energy sector. Besides providing online and personal mentoring, the network also grants educational scholarships, organises meetings across North America and holds an annual luncheon to honour the achievements of women in the wind industry. Considering the number of women involved in
the industry, it is only fitting that HUSUM is now bringing the WoWE to Europe. The European WoWE network and mentoring programme will be officially established at the first European WoWE luncheon in the new congress centre on 23 September.
“The wind energy industry is setting new industry standards across the board, so why not also when it comes to the number of women in management? Modern, progressive enterprises have already realised how important female managers are for sustained business success. And it will only be possible to combat the lack of properly qualified employees throughout industry when we are able to get women interested in technical professions. This help can be provided in the form of a female mentor already employed in the wind industry, who knows the sector inside out. WoWE is not a feminist organisation, but is just an organisation of women whose prime objective is to protect the sustainability of a leading industry that is both new and regenerative: wind energy,” says Gudrun Kromrey, initiator of the WoWE European Chapter.
WindCommunity
HUSUM WindEnergy has also introduced a new online WindCommunity that now has over 2,500 members, with over 100 new members joining each week. With over 70,000 visits per month and more than 90,000 page impressions a day, the online community is proving popular with numerous enterprises across the industry, and is also establishing itself as the sector-specific communication platform. Husum is still the mother of all wind trade fairs, and as long as there is innovation and creativity in the industry, it will continue to be so. n
