Ceará Strengthens Global Presence with Business Mission to China, Boosting Offshore Wind Energy and Expanding Strategic Partnerships to Ensure New Sustainable Investments in the State
On October 3, 2025, the Government of the State of Ceará announced its participation in the Business Mission to China, held from October 8 to 17.
The initiative, led by the Secretary of International Relations, Roseane Medeiros, marks a strategic advance in the state’s insertion into the global offshore wind energy scenario and in attracting sustainable investments.
Business Mission to China Highlights Ceará in Offshore Wind
Ceará is ready to lead the energy transition in Brazil, according to Medeiros, the only Cearan representative in the delegation. The mission, organized by companies such as Blue Aspirations, Mingyang Smart Energy, DNV, and Shizen Energy, positions the state as an international reference in the renewable energy sector.

The Brazilian delegation participated in technical visits, business rounds, and the 8th Offshore Wind Asia Summit (OWA 2025) in Shanghai — one of the largest global events dedicated to offshore wind energy. For the first time, Brazil had an exclusive panel showcasing its energy potential, with Ceará as the protagonist.
Ceará and China: International Cooperation for Sustainable Investments
The Business Mission included agendas in Zhongshan, Yangjiang, Hangzhou, Nanping, and Fuzhou. In these cities, the Brazilian delegation learned about the facilities of leading companies in energy technology and innovation.
Mingyang Smart Energy, for example, is a Chinese giant founded in 2006, with a presence in over ten countries and thousands of patents in wind turbines.
In Hangzhou, the delegation visited the headquarters of Blue Aspirations, a company specializing in measurements and monitoring of offshore projects. DNV, a Norwegian authority in certification and risk management, also accompanied the mission, reinforcing the technical credibility of the project.
The Japanese Shizen Energy, operating across several continents, contributed its expertise in energy transition. These partnerships reinforce the international and strategic nature of the mission, connecting Ceará to the major players in the sector and increasing its visibility in the global market.
Competitive Potential of Ceará in Offshore Wind Energy
The highlight of Ceará in the Business Mission to China is not by chance. The state gathers natural and structural characteristics that make it highly competitive:
- Constant and High-Quality Winds
- Modern Port Infrastructure
- Institutional Environment Favorable to Business
- Consolidated Experience in Renewable Energy
According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Brazil has over 1,200 GW in offshore resources, with about 697 GW in areas with a depth of up to 50 meters and winds at 100 meters height — ideal conditions for large-scale projects.
Ceará is one of the states with the greatest capacity for the installation of offshore wind farms in the country, thanks to its extensive coastline and the regularity of winds. This natural advantage is enhanced by public policies that encourage innovation and sustainability.
Energy Diplomacy and International Education
In addition to technical advances, the mission also strengthened diplomatic ties between Ceará and China. Secretary Roseane Medeiros attended conferences in Nanping and Fuzhou, sister cities of Fortaleza, focusing on educational and institutional cooperation.
The relationship between Ceará and Fujian Province has generated joint actions in education, health, and renewable energy, such as the training of teachers in mathematics carried out in 2014. Now, new exchange opportunities are being explored to enhance the quality of education in the state.
This active diplomacy strengthens Ceará’s image as a reliable and innovative partner, capable of leading sustainable projects on a global scale.
Companies Involved and Global Impact of the Business Mission
During the Business Mission to China, the Brazilian delegation had direct contact with companies that are global references:
- Mingyang Smart Energy: leader in wind turbine manufacturing, with a strong international presence.
- Blue Aspirations: specialist in measurements and monitoring of offshore projects.
- DNV: global authority in certification and risk management.
- Shizen Energy: a Japanese company focused on energy transition projects.
The mission opened doors for future partnerships, investments, and technology transfer, consolidating the state as a strategic hub for energy innovation.
Sustainable Investments and Opportunities for Brazil
The Business Mission to China represents more than an institutional agenda. It is a platform to attract sustainable investments that can transform the Brazilian energy matrix.
Offshore wind energy is one of the main bets for the decarbonization of the economy, and Ceará is at the forefront of this movement. With aligned public policies, adequate infrastructure, and international support, the state positions itself as a protagonist in the energy transition.
Furthermore, investments generate qualified jobs, strengthen the local economy, and promote technological innovation. The offshore wind project with an installed capacity of 1,000 MW, being developed with the CGN Group, is a concrete example of this transformation.
Ceará as a Model for Sustainable Development and Energy Innovation
The participation of Ceará in the Business Mission to China is a milestone in consolidating the state as a leader in offshore wind energy. The initiative strengthens international cooperation, attracts sustainable investments, and positions Brazil as a protagonist in the global energy transition.
With strategic vision, active diplomacy, and solid partnerships, Ceará shows that it is ready for the future.
This mission not only reinforces the state’s prominence but also inspires other regions to follow the same path, promoting sustainable development and innovation. Ceará thus becomes a model of how well-structured public policies, combined with international cooperation, can generate lasting positive impact.
