Prosperity, Value Creation and Jobs
The energy transition as an engine for economic growth — how AquaVentus opens new markets and creates jobs.
The energy transition is not only a step towards a sustainable future, but also an engine for economic prosperity. The AquaVentus initiative shows how the production and use of green hydrogen creates new value chains, secures jobs and expands Europe's economic strength.

Reconciling Prosperity and Sustainability
The AquaVentus initiative shows that climate protection and economic growth can go hand in hand. By developing a sustainable hydrogen economy, not only are existing jobs secured, but new markets are also opened up that create long-term prosperity for Europe.
Value Creation through Innovation and Production
AquaVentus brings cutting-edge technologies and forward-looking projects into practice. From offshore wind energy to hydrogen production and the construction of pipelines, new opportunities for companies and regions emerge along the entire value chain:
Strengthening industrial sites
The construction and operation of offshore wind farms, electrolysers and transport infrastructure creates orders for the maritime industry, mechanical engineering and energy technology.
Promoting regional economies
Ports, shipyards and suppliers benefit from demand for specialised services and products.
Strengthening European independence
The production of green hydrogen in Europe reduces dependence on energy imports and strengthens the competitiveness of the European economy.
New Jobs for a Green Future
The energy transition is an opportunity to create thousands of new jobs in future-oriented sectors. AquaVentus helps to promote employment in numerous areas:
Direct jobs
In the planning, construction and operation of offshore wind farms, hydrogen plants and infrastructure projects.
Indirect jobs
In supply industries such as steel construction, electrical engineering and logistics.
Qualified skilled workers
AquaVentus focuses on further training and retraining of skilled workers to meet the demands of the hydrogen economy.
A Win for Everyone
AquaVentus is more than an energy transition project — it is an engine for innovation that links ecological change with economic success. Together we are laying the foundation for a sustainable future that creates jobs, drives value creation and positions Europe as a leader in green technologies.
