A new competition from the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult will, for the first time, enable innovative SMEs working in the offshore renewables sector to prove their technology and connect them with investors and potential clients.

The Offshore Wind Innovation Competition calls for technological solutions to specific industry innovation challenges, with successful companies able to access ORE Catapult’s world-leading market knowledge and test and validation facilities to de-risk their technology, as well as pitch their ideas to investment group Green Angel Syndicate and wind farm owner/operator ScottishPower Renewables.
