Marine Energy Alliance Hosts Webinar on Call for Support and Application

Marine Energy Alliance will hold a webinar on Wednesday, January 16, to provide information on its recently opened first call for applicants which aims to progress the technical and commercial maturity level of early-stage (TRL 3 – 4) marine energy technology companies with the overall goal of reducing the risk of device failure in subsequent demonstration phases.

As the first Call for Applications of the Marine Energy is already open, the webinar will facilitate those looking to apply with more information and guidance.

Iris Hoefnagels of Dutch Marine Energy Centre, lead partner within the Marine Energy Alliance, will present during the webinar which will be held at 11:00 CET on January 16. Secure your spot HERE.

Through participation in MEA, companies will gain access to the project partners’ world-leading expertise in marine energy development. Awarded companies will have the chance to work closely together with a transnational team of marine energy experts on both the technical advancement of their technology, as well as the development of their commercial strategy and business plans.
