The East of England is one of the UK’s largest offshore renewable energy hubs. The region has an established supply chain providing products and services to the sector, but a support need has been identified to increase visibility of market needs and provide specialist innovation support to enable growth.
Connect is a six month innovation derisking project where companies will have the opportunity to engage in a series of training workshops, pitch sessions and bespoke support to deliver technical advice and commercial support. The purpose of Connect is to enable supply chain companies to derisk their innovation through increasing their understanding of market needs and collaboration across the supply chain.
The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult delivers the programme and jointly funds it with global renewable energy company Equinor and leading wind energy group developer ScottishPower Renewables, as well as with Essex County Council, Suffolk County Council and Norfolk County Council.
