The Missouri Partnership and the Great Lakes Wind Network hosted The Wind Energy Supply Chain Workshop from 8 a.m. to noon Tuesday at the Metropolitan Community College of Kansas City's Business & Technology Campus.

The event was intended to showcase the benefits and opportunities for Kansas City and Missouri through new business development in the wind energy sector, the organizations said in a release. The workshop was designed to help Kansas City companies discover how to diversify and become leaders in wind energy's high-growth potential.

Missouri Partnership CEO Chris Chung said in an interview that the workshop included presentations that gave an industry overview looking at the wind energy segment's "growth curve," the anatomy of the wind turbine and technical specifications, especially how to work with European original equipment manufacturers that produce wind turbines.
