The foundation maintains offices in Varel (headquarters), Hamburg, and Berlin, and collaborates with over 25 Hamburg schools. It advocates for policy alignment to meet Germany's offshore wind expansion targets (30 GW by 2030, 40 GW by 2035, 50 GW by 2035, 70 GW by 2045) and addresses challenges including skilled labor shortages and supply chain resilience.
