The wind energy industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, which is bringing major supply chain challenges to the industry while it aggressively “ramps up” domestic manufacturing of wind turbines and their components. As a result, there is significant opportunity for state and local governments, manufacturers and component suppliers across all industries to help feed the supply chain and grow their business.
This state-level seminar focused on supply chain challenges and opportunities in the state of Wisconsin for companies looking to get involved in the supply of components and services to the wind energy industry. This state-level event was designed to focus on specific aspects for Wisconsin-based companies and to enable their entrance into the wind industry.

- Wisconsin wind power outlook
- The national wind energy industry overview
- Wisconsin wind power outlook
- Status report on supply chain shortages and bottlenecks
- The anatomy of a wind turbine: major components and manufacturing requirements
- Major component sourcing & value chain services
- Supply chain conversion success stories in Wisconsin: funding, contracts, and retooling
