Why attend?

The TIGGOR programme, delivered by the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, has been extended for an additional year, running from April 2025 – March 2026, with two unique strands of business support available to organisations based in Newcastle, Northumberland or North-Tyneside.

These are:
1. Technology Demonstration Projects (TDP)
• The technology demonstration projects provide grant funding through a competitive application call to organisations based in Newcastle, North-Tyneside and Northumberland to engage in R&D projects to accelerate the TRL and market readiness of novel offshore renewable energy innovations and technologies in specific thematic areas.
• Projects are funded between 50-60% depending on organisation size, are open to small, medium and large organisations and offer a maximum funded value of £200,000.00 with a maximum project duration of 9 months.

2. Fit 4 Offshore Renewables (F4OR) Business Support Programme

• The Fit 4 Offshore Renewables programme is designed to support the development of a competent, capable and competitive UK offshore renewable energy supply chain by providing the tools and knowledge for organisations to succeed within the offshore renewable energy industry.

• F4OR provides business and sector specific support shaped by senior industry representatives ensuring that when a company completes the programme and is awarded “granted status” they are operating at a level that meets the needs of industry customers.

• The F4OR North-East England programme is open to organisations of all sizes based in Newcastle, North-Tyneside and Northumberland with or without prior experience in the offshore sector but does require participating organisations to have identified offshore renewable energy as a strategic opportunity for growth.
