Europe has been a pioneer in the development of ocean energy technologies. The vast majority of capacity is installed in Europe and most projects around the globe use European technology. However, the rest of the world is catching up, as Canada, the US and China develop their own markets and new domestic champions begin to emerge.

Now is the time to act to make the most of Europe’s first-mover advantage, both at home and abroad. This webinar aimed to concretely address this issue by providing useful examples and feedback to policy makers and other stakeholders.

ETIP Ocean also released its new Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda during this webinar.
