Technology, Innovation & Green Growth for Offshore Renewables (TIGGOR) is a supply chain programme designed to boost growth and productivity in the North of Tyne and wider North East England region’s offshore wind and subsea sectors.
Funded primarily by the North East Combined Authority (North East CA), the programme has been established to support the acceleration of businesses in the region’s burgeoning offshore wind and subsea sectors, as well as encourage market entrance of companies that currently do not operate in these industries.
