Abstract

An Offshore Wind joint venture between Ukraine and Taiwan is proposed to exchange Ukrainian welding experience for Taiwan's offshore wind technology, notably floating. The first Black Sea offshore wind farm is envisioned as the first economical driver of the project with later joint fixed and floating offshore wind turbine foundations production envisioned. The dangers and benefits of this project from technical and board socio-political aspects were analysed using the SPEED framework. As Ukraine and Taiwan governments are searching for possible post-war cooperation directions, this paper provides a promising idea in the field of Offshore Wind. The ultimate goal is to support the establishment of friendly relations between Taiwan and Ukraine.
