TIGGOR
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 (NECA), 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.
HOW THE PROGRAMME WORKS WITH ‘TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION SUPPORT’
The TIGGOR programme is delivered by ORE Catapult, EDF Renewables and Equinor. It is available to businesses located in the North of Tyne region. The TIGGOR programme aims to maximise future commercial investment in the supply chain via a technology demonstration programme to de-risk future investment. Technology demonstration support will provide businesses with technology assessment, advice and potential funding in the following areas.
The categories include, but are not limited to:
Smart Digital Services & Autonomous Robotics
Pre-assembly, Port and Harbour
Floating Offshore Wind
Open Category
CURRENT TIGGOR OPPORTUNITIES
The TIGGOR 2 programme extension has been funded by the North East Combined Authority (NECA) as part of its commitment to supporting the region’s offshore renewable energy supply chain. Here are the latest opportunities now taking applications.
'EASI' BUSINESS SUPPORT
EASI (Engineering and Analysis Supply Initiative) is the latest programme launched through ORE Catapult’s successful partnership with the North East Combined Authority (NECA) under the TIGGOR 2 programme.
EASI will deliver expert technical support and market analysis exclusively to micro, small or medium size enterprises based in Newcastle, Northumberland or North-Tyneside. The businesses supported will have technology, products or services that can be applied to the offshore wind sector which help theUK to meet our ambitious targets for generating clean, renewable energy.
SMEs based in any of the three regions are invited to apply, with submissions reviewed on a ‘first come, first served’ footing with successful companies to be selected on a rolling basis.
The EASI business support programme aims ‘To turn the dial on technical and commercial readiness’ and also help companies strengthen their business case to access future funding support.
