Marentech Expo, which is the only address in Turkey for offshore energy technologies, whose importance has increased even more after the energy crisis experienced all over the world, starts in İzmir. A regional cooperation agreement on marine energy will be signed at Marentech Expo.
İzmir, which is called the “wind energy capital of Turkey” and has the potential to be the leading city where onshore and offshore wind turbine components are produced and exported in Turkey, will host an important event on October 26-28. The most important representatives and leading names of the sector in the world will attend Marentech Expo. On the first day of the fair, an agreement for regional cooperation on offshore energy will be signed.
The series of conferences that will shape the world in the sector will attract great attention at the Offshore Energy Technologies Fair and Conference to be held in Fair Izmir. Hundreds of prestigious domestic and foreign companies, thousands of professional investors and buyers will come together at the fair.
Speaking about the fair to be held by BİFAŞ Fuarcılık A.Ş, which is an important organization in specialized fairs in Turkey, BİFAŞ Chairman of the Board Ümit Vural said, “The first steps and signatures will be made for regional cooperation in the international sense at Marentech Expo. We will all share this pride. One of the most important factors in choosing İzmir is that the energy sector sees İzmir as the renewable energy capital of our country.”

The main topics of the conference will be: Offshore Wind Energy, Offshore Energy Legislation of Countries, Floating Based Offshore Wind Power Plants, Floating Solar Power Plants, Wave Energy, Current Energy, Hydrogen Energy, Industry and Production.
TURKEY HAS ADVANTAGE IN OVERSEA WIND ENERGY
According to the GWEC Global Wind Report 2022, Turkey is among the countries with the highest offshore wind energy potential, along with Azerbaijan, Australia and Sri Lanka. Turkey plans to include 2030 GW of wind installed power in its electricity system by 20. Turkey's onshore wind energy installed power is at the level of 11 GW. The potential of the country, which does not have an offshore wind power plant, is calculated as 70 GW.
In parallel with the great potential of the energy sector, which is foreseen in Turkey in 10 years, it is expected that a market of approximately 2035 billion Euros will be created with the installation of 4 500 MW DRES until 12, and this makes Marectech Expo even more important. It is also seen that other offshore energy sources, especially floating SPPs, will also develop. Marentech Expo - Offshore Energy Technologies Fair, which will be the only meeting point of the sector, will contribute and accelerate the trade volume of the Turkish offshore energy sector.
