Developing the offshore renewable energy supply chain
The Technology Strategy Board and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) are to invest up to £1.2m to establish new Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) in the field of offshore renewable energy.
This targeted call for KTPs aims to stimulate and support innovation in the offshore renewable energy supply chain. It is part of an £11.2m programme and is running in parallel with a £10m investment in developing the offshore wind supply chain by the Technology Strategy Board and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Up to £3m will be invested in feasibility studies to develop innovative early-stage technologies and up to £7m in development and demonstration of component technologies for offshore wind. This KTP call also follows the recent £10.5m Marine energy: Supporting array technologies competition (March 2012), which was co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board, Scottish Enterprise and NERC.
This call for KTPs will help businesses to integrate sustainable innovation into their organisations, and will provide new opportunities for open innovation and knowledge exchange across the sector.
The deadline for applications is noon 24 April 2013.
