What Wind Industry Hub (WIH) does

Wind Industry Hub (WIH), formally Fundacja Wind Industry Hub, is a Polish non-profit foundation founded in 2023 and headquartered in Szczecin with a secondary office in Warsaw. It operates as the central coordinating body for Poland's wind energy industry, connecting domestic suppliers and service providers with international wind developers, investors, and policymakers. The foundation's stated mission is to strengthen Polish industrial participation in onshore and offshore wind supply chains and to support coherent industrial policy through collaboration with national and EU-level institutions.

WIH's core products are publications, events, and EU-funded projects rather than technology products. Its publication portfolio includes the annual Wind Energy in Poland report, the Polish Strategy for Offshore Wind Industry Development, the Polish Strategy for Onshore Wind Industry Development, the MEW Industry Strategy for the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, a Catalog of Wind Energy Suppliers and Service Providers, and thematic studies such as the Dutch-Polish cooperation analysis with LinkedbyOffshoreWind and a gravity-based foundations study with SLIPFORM.LTD. Flagship events include the PSEW Conference (PSEW2026 in Świnoujście) and Offshore Wind Poland, which serve as primary matchmaking and policy forums for the Polish wind sector.

The foundation's business model is built on free membership registration, event-based engagement, and project funding. WIH does not charge membership fees and instead monetizes its coordination role through EU cascade funding (notably the €3 million I3FLOAT program targeting up to 50 SMEs across 8 European regions) and likely event sponsorship and project management fees. Leadership comprises President Janusz Gajowiecki (who also serves as President of the Polish Wind Energy Association, PSEW), Vice Presidents Dominika Taranko, Piotr Czopek, and Dr Oliwia Mróz-Malik, plus Junior Specialist Michał Forycki. Core customer segments are Polish SMEs in the wind supply chain (manufacturing, construction, logistics, legal, R&D) and international developers seeking local partners and policy access.
