Offshore Wind Innovation Hub will be hosting The 2026 Windward Innovation Celebration. This is a networking and exhibit style event commemorating the successful completion of the 2025 Offshore Wind Innovation Hub Accelerator cohort. Presented by the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub at NYU Tandon Urban Future Lab and held alongside the 2026 International Partnering Forum hosted by Oceantic Network, the event offers an opportunity to engage directly with founders and teams developing next generation offshore wind and ocean technology solutions. Attendees will be able to explore ready to scale innovations, discuss emerging business opportunities, and build strategic partnerships with leaders advancing the offshore wind and ocean renewables sectors.

The NOWRDC Technical Symposium is a focused convening designed to bring together industry, researchers, and public-sector leaders who are actively working to advance offshore wind and marine energy innovation. The event provides a dedicated networking environment where participants can engage deeply on current R&D efforts, share lessons learned, and build partnerships that accelerate technology development and deployment. Through technical sessions and structured discussion, the symposium is intended to foster collaboration, surface practical insights, and help align near-term research priorities with industry needs.

Join LocalContent.com in New York City for the Local Content Infrastructure Supplier Forum, bringing together investors, developers, manufacturers, agencies, and suppliers to strengthen compliance, expand participation, and accelerate local economic growth across the United States infrastructure landscape. The forum is offered both in person and online, enabling nationwide participation through curated buyer supplier meetings and targeted insight sessions spanning clean energy, maritime, broadband, construction, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and sports. Participants will connect directly with buyers and project developers to pursue new contracting and operations and maintenance opportunities, gain practical insight into local and domestic content policies shaping infrastructure investment, and hear from industry and government leaders advancing compliance and supply chain growth.

Oceantic Network’s annual International Partnering Forum (IPF) lands in the Big Apple in 2026! IPF is the largest marine renewable energy conference in the Americas, empowering companies to innovate and diversify into business sectors including offshore wind and solar, wave, tidal, and green hydrogen. We will explore emerging technologies like floating data centers and marine carbon dioxide removal. We will anchor on the infrastructure that makes all of it happen: ports, vessels, the grid, and transmission. At IPF, U.S. and global industry experts gather to transform the blue economy through collaboration and innovation. It’s where you make connections, grow your business, and access insider knowledge you need to navigate the changing and developing industry.

In this webinar, Travis Miles with Rutgers University will provide an overview of regional oceanography and ecosystem dynamics and discuss emerging research about how infrastructure, including offshore wind projects, could influence oceanographic processes. This webinar is part of the Learning from the Experts series hosted by NYSERDA’s Offshore Wind Team and featuring experts in key offshore wind topics, including wind farm technologies, development practices, regulatory processes, and research initiatives.

Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering will host a New Year gathering that will bring together the Carbon to Value Initiative and the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub communities. The event will convene climate technology founders, partners, and supporters across clean energy and sustainable urban infrastructure to build cross sector connections, exchange insights, and recognize the companies shaping this growing ecosystem. The gathering will also mark the welcome of the Carbon to Value Year 5 Cohort alongside the broader Urban Future Lab portfolio.
