Foreword

In recent years Germany has set the express goal of ensuring that environmental protection and economic growth develop in tandem. The country's wind energy industry is the world's largest, and it is at the forefront of technological development. Germany's long mechanical and electronic engineering tradition is the backbone underpinning its current strong position.

Germany's central position in Europe also makes it an ideal location for the European onshore markets as well as for the European offshore markets. Excellent investment opportunities have led wind energy companies from around the world to base their operations in Germany.

At present, the growing number of offshore-related industrial settlements reflects the unparalleled location economies of Germany's coastline for the northern European offshore markets. Attractive government incentives and a stable investment environment have helped to considerably increase the country's attractiveness to investors.
