MEA
Project: Marine Energy Alliance (MEA)
Timescale: 2018-2022
Funder: Interreg North-West Europe
Funding: EU FUNDING – € 3.6 m / TOTAL BUDGET – € 6 m
Website: Interreg NWE – Marine Energy Alliance website
Project overview
The aim of MEA is 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. Via MEA, selected marine energy technology companies will receive a suite of tailored expert services that will enable them to realise their ambitions and, more broadly, contribute to the coherent growth of the marine energy industry in general.
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. Each service offer is intended to put the company’s technology and business firmly on the road towards successful commercialisation.
