HUSUM Wind Husum

HUSUM WIND is one of the most important trade fairs for the wind energy sector in Europe, taking place every two years in the wind-rich north of Germany – in Husum, Schleswig-Holstein. Founded in 1989, it was the world’s first trade fair dedicated exclusively to wind energy. Back then, it was held in a cattle hall; today, it has become an essential meeting point for professionals from industry, politics, research, and business. Organized by Messe Husum & Congress GmbH & Co. KG, the fair benefits from many years of experience and strong regional roots, offering a platform that combines expertise with innovative strength.

As a trade-only event open exclusively to industry professionals, HUSUM WIND has continuously evolved. It no longer positions itself as a fair for the mass market but rather as a central business platform for the European onshore wind industry. Its thematic focus spans the entire value chain – from planning, operation, and maintenance to repowering, digitalization, and the integration of emerging energy technologies. The fair not only addresses current trends but also focuses on future challenges, prioritizing practical solutions and market-ready innovations.

At its core, HUSUM WIND concentrates on onshore wind energy, showcasing technological developments in tower and rotor blade design, hub heights, and generator technologies. Additional focal points include repowering – replacing older turbines with more efficient systems – and the optimization of operations and maintenance (O&M), such as predictive maintenance and autonomous inspection technologies. The fair also demonstrates how digitalization and artificial intelligence are increasingly shaping the control and analysis of wind turbines through digital twins, big data, and AI-supported optimization processes.

A forward-looking emphasis is placed on grid integration and sector coupling. Solutions for energy storage, the use of green hydrogen (Power-to-X), and integration into the mobility and heating sectors are key topics. This highlights a crucial shift: wind energy is no longer viewed in isolation but as part of a flexible, decentralized energy system.

HUSUM WIND also pays close attention to the so-called “soft factors” in wind energy development, such as occupational safety, workforce qualification, public acceptance, and citizen participation. With practical approaches to wildlife protection, new participation models, and communication strategies, the fair demonstrates that technological progress in wind energy can be shaped in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

The location of Husum stands out due to its position in one of Europe’s most productive wind regions. Its close proximity to wind farms, service providers, suppliers, research institutions, and training centers lends the fair a high degree of authenticity and relevance. Trade visitors benefit from short distances, a strong local network, and a region that not only showcases wind energy but actively embodies it.

HUSUM WIND offers solutions for the entire life cycle of wind energy projects. It is unique in its ability to combine technological depth with social perspective – and highly relevant as it tackles the key issues of today and tomorrow with clear focus and practical content.

The HUSUM Wind will take place on 4 days from Tuesday, 16. September to Friday, 19. September 2025 in Husum.
