GS Entec said Thursday that it participated in the 2026 World Smart Energy Week, a three-day renewable energy exhibition that opened Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan. The event is one of Asia’s largest renewable energy exhibitions, drawing around 1,600 companies from 67 countries. At the exhibition, GS Entec showcased videos and precision models of offshore wind substructures, along with a joint process video highlighting its collaboration with Dutch firm Sif, a global leader in the sector.
