FOWT France 2026

We will join the Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) conference, taking place from March 24–26, 2026, at Le Corum Congress Center in Montpellier, France. Organized by Pôle Mer Méditerranée and France Renouvelables, FOWT stands as the world’s largest event fully dedicated to floating offshore wind, gathering more than 1,400 professionals from over 30 countries each year.

Our CCO, Immanuel Capano, is heading to FOWT 2026. He will connect with international stakeholders to drive collaboration on innovation, industrialization, and sustainability in floating offshore wind. Immanuel will also share our vision for the sector, backed by key learnings from our DemoSATH project.

This year’s edition will emphasize scaling up floating wind to commercial deployment, with debates on supply chain readiness, environmental integration, and digitalization tools to enhance project design and operation. The agenda will also feature updates on upcoming French tenders and regional projects in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, a key moment as floating wind accelerates toward large-scale implementation in Europe and beyond.

Saitec Offshore Technologies will be represented within the Basque Energy Cluster, which comprises more than 150 companies along the wind energy value chain. Basque organizations have contributed to most offshore wind farms installed to date positioning the Basque Country as a global reference in floating wind, home to up to five platform developers and numerous specialized suppliers.

As in previous years, participants will also have the opportunity to join technical visits organized by the Occitania / Pyrénées-Méditerranée region will organize technical visits to showcase regional expertise and infrastructure dedicated to marine renewable energy — including ports, industrial platforms, and research centers working to expand offshore wind innovation in southern France.
