The global event on wind blade materials, design, manufacturing, maintenance and sustainability
The meeting place for the blade supply chain
The 16th edition of Wind Turbine Blades took place at the Hilton Düsseldorf in Germany from 9-11 December 2025. The event brought together industry experts from across the value chain to examine key industry trends and developments in wind turbine blade manufacturing and design, materials, inspection and testing, O&M, and end-of-life management and recycling.
As the global installed capacity of onshore and offshore wind grows rapidly with bigger turbines and longer blades, addressing challenges like blade quality, manufacturing defects, and the cost of operation becomes critical. On the other hand, the fierce competition in delivering reliable blades at a lower price is putting additional pressure on the OEMs who are in the process of financial recovery. And last but not least, as the volume of decommissioned blades grows significantly, ensuring a sustainable solution for recycling them is a must if the industry is to keep its overall carbon footprint to a minimum.
To address these challenges, the conference examined the best practices for driving blade reliability and sustainability in a cost-effective way. To that end, the agenda focused on developments in manufacturing optimisation, including automation, innovations in materials, efficient and cost-effective inspection, testing and maintenance to lower LCOE, and achievements in blade recycling.
Across the three days, industry experts from leading OEMs, operators and developers, research centres, and technology and material providers shared their insights and industry updates in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
