English Speak:

Offshore Wind Farms – So What?

Danish Mrs. Rikke V. Stoltz is a seasoned, knowledgeable expert within the field. Join her in this truly different Speak and enjoy a highly energetic & fun speaking voyage on how this whole new offshore wind industry is developing.

Mixed into this Speak is Rikke’s own entrepreneurial story on pursuing a dream: Making it possible to efficiently install offshore wind farms without public subsidies. This she successfully pursued – with start-up Founder Lars Blicher – by building the world’s largest wind farm installation vessels.

The Speak also includes some interesting history. Back in the 1970s Denmark pioneered the commercial wind power industry. Still today a substantial share of the wind turbines around the world are produced by Danish manufacturers. 

Welcome onboard. You’re in for an amazing ride!

Speaker introduction:

Mrs. Rikke V. Stoltz has a corporate background from the A. P. Moller Maersk group where she held several positions with considerable bottom line responsibility. Her tenure there included expatriations to Brazil and Switzerland. In recent years she has carefully picked and been involved in different entrepreneurial projects. This included building a highly successful start-up from scratch to a solid commercial success with the world’s largest windfarm installation vessels. In addition to also being Lead Organizer and the TEDxFrederiksberg licensee, she is on a mission of accelerating the advent of sustainable transport and energy.

To compare a windmill with modern WTGs (Wind Turbine Generators) is like comparing an ox to a lamborghini..
