Final Week for MEA Project Applications

The deadline for the Marine Energy Alliance first call for applications is just one week away and will close on Friday 15 February 2019 at 17:00 (CET).

If you’re an early-stage marine energy technology company looking for guidance and assistance in advancing your technology’s future, send in your application.

The Marine Energy Alliance (MEA) 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.

Selected marine energy technology companies will receive a suite of tailored expert services that will enable them to realize their ambitions.

MEA is a four year European Territorial Cooperation project running from May 2018 to May 2022. The project has a total budget of €6 million and is supported by Interreg North West Europe, who provides €3.6 million of ERDF funding.

The MEA service offering is awarded to companies via a two-stage application process. The first Stage requests the applicant to submit an online Expression of Interest via the “MEA project website”.

Successful applicants passing the first Stage will be invited to take part in the second Stage of the application process. More information on the project and application can be found on the MEA project website.
