With the APQP4Wind project it has been possible to formulate a joint approach that will strengthen the productions processes in the wind industry. The approach has quickly been adopted by several companies who have already worked it into their existing production processes. The willingness to adopt this new approach to quality planning shows both the need to streamline processes to bring down cost of energy and the potential for further steps towards a common framework for quality assurance.

In 2016, several key players from the wind industry have together with the research community defined the most central areas of strategic importance to the industry within research and development. This year’s WIND ENERGY DENMARK conference focuses on these exact priority areas, so the industry together can discuss and identify how to best tackle the challenges as well as how to realize business opportunities.
