The project focuses on a nature-inclusive design for floating offshore wind, as well as innovative primary artificial reef structures. During the side event, we will give an overview of INF4INiTY and our partners (GICON and Aquatera Atl\u00e1ntico) will present their approaches to the current techno-socio-enviro-economic challenges in the framework of the project. We will also look at floating converter station solutions and others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/inf4inity.com\/?ref=annual2025\" target=\"_blank\">inf4inity.com<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n  <hr>\r\n\r\n      <h4>Brought to you by<\/h4>\r\n      <div class=\"logos\">\r\n\t\t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquatera.co.uk\/?ref=annual2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Find out more\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"min-width:150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/logos\/events\/aquatera.svg\"  \r\n                   alt=\"Aquatera\"><\/a>\r\n \r\n\t\t <a href=\"https:\/\/inf4inity.com\/?ref=annual2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Find out more\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"min-width:150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/logos\/events\/inf4inity.svg\"  \r\n                   alt=\"inf4inity\"><\/a>\r\n \r\n\t\t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gicon.de\/en\/?ref=annual2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Find out more\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"min-width:150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/logos\/events\/gicon.svg\"  \r\n                   alt=\"Gicon\"><\/a>\r\n\r\n              \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>  \r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When: Wednesday 9 April, 09:00 \u2013 11:00 Where: Meeting Room 179, Bella Sky Hotel \u2013 Level 1 Open to: All registered participants Floating offshore wind has the potential to play a central role in achieving the European Commission&#8217;s goals for a climate-neutral energy system.
