About the Event:

Showcasing the very best of North East England’s offshore wind industry, this is your opportunity to explore the region’s innovative strengths and global knowledge, with a focus on local projects, innovation, skills and supply chain capabilities and opportunities.

Energi Coast is North East England’s Offshore Wind Cluster, owned and operated by NOF.

Comprised of over 30 key regional businesses and stakeholder organisations with an interest in offshore wind, the Energi Coast Leadership Group works to develop strategies and action plans which include promoting regional capabilities, attracting inward investment, investing in innovation, encouraging exports and connecting the supply chain to Academia, Innovation, Ports, Developers with local projects and Regional Government for mutual benefit.

Alongside the Leadership Group, the Innovation and Skills Groups work with the wider North East England supply chain of over 300 companies, to promote and profile the region as a key hub to support the UK and International offshore wind markets.
