New Bedford Ocean Cluster’s second annual New Bedford Offshore Wind Conference was a unique and immersive industry event, located in historic downtown New Bedford. The program included more tours and four program tracks (Supply Chain Development & Integration, Workforce Development & Training, Research, Innovation & Technology, and Ports & Vessels). Attendees networked with industry leaders, local businesses, and key stakeholders at the center of advancing offshore wind in New Bedford and the region.

The City of New Bedford has for generations been tied to the sea. The Port of New Bedford is home to America’s highest-grossing commercial fishing industry. Today, it is also home to America’s first, commercial-scale offshore wind project, Vineyard Wind 1. New Bedford is actively positioning itself to be a leading hub for the U.S. offshore wind industry and a robust ecosystem for blue innovation and technology. We look forward to seeing you next year!
