The specialist information portal www.windkraftkonstruktion.de for designers and developers of wind turbines was launched at the beginning of September. The wind industry has developed into an economic sector with a promising future. In 2008, it was responsible for around a quarter of the global value added in the wind sector with 7 to 8 billion euros. The German wind industry now has an export quota of well over 80 % and, as a technology leader, is the showcase of the global wind industry.



The new website www.windkraftkonstruktion.de makes it possible to obtain information quickly and efficiently. It supports design engineers in mastering the challenge of developing wind turbines and securing their technological lead.



For development, the new information platform of the "konstruktionspraxis" media brand provides specialist know-how from A for automation technology to Z for gear pumps. New knowledge formats such as webcasts and white papers support the user-friendly dissemination of specialist information.



With this portal, Vogel Business Media is expanding its proven concept of Business Efficiency Portals (BEPs) to include microsites for the first time, which present special technologies in a function- and industry-specific manner.



"konstruktionspraxis" is the leading specialist medium for designers and developers in mechanical, apparatus and vehicle construction, electrical engineering and other metal and plastics processing industries. It focuses on all phases of the design process. www.konstruktionspraxis.de offers multi-layered, multimedia and interactive specialist and product information as well as news.
