OPIN, MEA, Ocean DEMO, AFLOWT (Interreg North-West Europe) and BLUE-GIFT, FAN-BEST (Interreg Atlantic Arc) are pleased to announce their networking cocktail event and invite all interested parties to join! The reception will take place in the exhibition area of SEANERGY 2021, at the WEAMEC/Pays de la Loire booth from 4pm.

This coalition of Interreg projects addresses the various needs of companies through their innovation journey. Starting at early stages with OPIN, they can then receive technical and business services in MEA and FAN-BEST, and finally get testing and demonstration opportunities within BLUE-GIFT, Ocean DEMO and AFLOWT.

This networking event is an opportunity to meet entities that are accelerating the Marine Renewable Energy sector by supporting technology companies to develop their innovative solutions. And if your company has already been supported, join us to share your feedbacks and meet the network of supported companies!

There is no need to register. Just drop by!

said: “We are delighted to host this networking event and show the complementarity of our 6 Interreg projects. The range of services offered through this family of projects is a key support for the marine renewables sector growth. This networking event will also be the finest closure for the OPIN Annual Symposium we will organise on 23rd September afternoon at SEANERGY 2021.”
