Ming Yang Europe has joined Norwegian Offshore Wind, strengthening its links with the European offshore wind sector and, in particular, Norway’s floating wind ecosystem. The company says the move supports its aim to manufacture locally, partner locally and innovate locally in Europe.
The membership is strategically important because Norway is a pioneer in floating offshore wind and has set a target of 30 GW of offshore wind by 2040, with a strong emphasis on floating projects. Ming Yang says it wants to contribute its technology and operational experience to that market, while Norwegian Offshore Wind says the company adds valuable capability to its supply chain community.
The announcement also fits Ming Yang’s broader European push, following its entry into Germany’s offshore wind association in March 2025. The company says it wants to play a role in Europe’s long-term offshore wind buildout, which includes targets discussed at the North Sea Summit in Hamburg for up to 100 GW of cross-border offshore wind by 2030s and 300 GW by 2050.
Norwegian Offshore Wind is a cluster of about 300 member companies spanning the offshore wind value chain, and it says international collaboration is central to building world-class floating wind supply chains.
Ming Yang Europe’s CEO Horatio Evers and NOW’s CEO Arvid Nesse both framed the membership as a partnership built around innovation, learning and global cooperation.
