The OWI-Lab team aims to set-up collaborative research, development and innovation projects that lead to efficient, reliable and cost-effective wind energy. Our goal is to explore those collective RD&I needs within the industrial value chain that are of strategic importance for the future. Based on those needs we initiate 'shared R&D projects' with the right industrial and academic research partners – also in an international context. Trough our expertise partnership we also have set-up a range of unique industrial services to support the wind energy industry.
