Over dit evenement

Science & Tech • Other

Following the previous year’s impactful and first-ever event, DMEC is proud to announce our second edition of the Nature+ Conference, taking place on September 30, 2025.


Over the course of 10 years, offshore renewable energy has developed greatly and gradually became a dependable source of energy, with offshore wind farms massively expanding across European countries, offshore solar solutions scaling along the coast of the North Sea, and more. With the rapid development of offshore renewable energy (ORE), minimising the environmental impact while enhancing the natural environment is one of the key priorities.


With nature+, DMEC refers to solutions to minimize, and even enhance biodiversity such as artificial reefs, habitat creation, as well as innovations to monitor, mitigate and reduce environmental effects, such as bird monitoring, noise mitigation, and more.


The Nature+ Conference 2025, taking place in person and online, will deliver a packed and informative program, with sessions ranging from interactive workshop, plenary discussions, outdoor scavenger to exhibitions from the game-changing nature+ innovators.


Throughout the day, we cover the following topics:

🔸What do we (not) know about the impact of ORE on the marine ecosystem

🔹Overview of the nature+ landscape including the most promising innovations

🔸Circular design and lifecycle thinking to reduce impact of offshore renewable energy projects

🔹Scaling up nature-oriented solutions.
