How do we accelerate ocean energy from successful demonstration projects to large-scale deployment?

Join the Offshore For Sure partnership for a dedicated INTERREG cross-border session showcasing the results of pioneering ocean energy projects in Flanders and the Netherlands. Organised by Bluespring, this session brings together technology developers, researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and funders to share lessons learned, address the remaining barriers to commercialisation, and explore how cross-border collaboration can accelerate large-scale deployment to support the transition to a sustainable blue economy.

What to expect

• Project results – discover the achievements of five innovative ocean energy demonstration projects and hear insights from technology developers, research and education partners, and industry.

• Overcoming barriers – explore the key challenges facing large-scale deployment, including permitting, spatial planning, grid integration, certification, and investment.

• The way forward – join a high-level discussion on how policy alignment, international cooperation, and targeted support can help bring ocean energy to market faster.
