Japan's industry ministry, Siemens Energy to partner on floating offshore wind project

On October 29, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) unveiled a memorandum of understanding with Siemens Energy. This collaboration aims to bolster cooperation in the realm of floating offshore wind power and related industries.

The two entities agreed to work jointly on the development of floating offshore wind projects within Japan's borders. This partnership is expected to strengthen the supply chain and foster the growth of skilled workers in the industry.
