How can you increase supply chain performance and strengthen competitiveness?
There are strong opportunities in the US wind power manufacturing and supply chain, through the provision of construction, transportation, engineering and O&M services to a growing industry.

- long term strategies for establishing domestic wind power manufacturing facilities
- overcoming challenges and maximizing business opportunities in the offshore wind supply chain
