NGI at ISFOG 2025: Showcasing Offshore Innovation
NGI will be strongly represented at the 5th International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG), taking place in Nantes, France this year.

With over 30 presentations, our delegation will contribute to the latest discussions on offshore geotechnics, particularly the shift towards floating wind and other offshore renewable technologies.
We are proud to highlight a Keynote Lecture by Finn Løvholt and a Bright Spark Lecture by Shengjie Rui among this year’s programme.
Are you curious about NGI’s research, looking for collaboration opportunities, or simply interested in a career with us?
Visit us at booth 4 — we’d love to talk!
A full list of NGI contributions is available below.
