This strategy has allowed even newcomers to leapfrog years of wind technology development, produce relatively advanced, high-capacity machines, and thus compete with the established and more experienced domestic enterprises such as Goldwind and Sinovel (Liu, 2006). Six years later, Goldwind entered the 1 MW market by purchasing a licence from Vensys Energiesysteme, a relatively small company based in Saarbrucken, for its 1.2 MW turbine. As a result, Goldwind has gone from “licensee to market leader” (Jensen, 2008). Other leading turbine makers, such as Sinovel and Dongfang, followed Goldwind’s lead, acquiring licences from Fuhrlander and Repower respectively.
