The Business Network for Offshore Wind has rebranded to Oceantic Network.
This move “reinforces the organisation’s strategic commitment to convene stakeholders in all ocean-based sources of renewable power”.
The trade group has also launched a new website, oceantic.org.
The nonprofit organization will continue to host the International Partnering Forum (IPF) annual conference for offshore wind stakeholders and the largest in the Americas.
Under the Oceantic Network banner, IPF will continue to convene federal and state agencies, manufacturers, workforce advocates, scientists, engineers and maritime operators that develop, harness and connect ocean clean energy.
“Changing our name is an opportunity to refresh our messages, introduce our organization to new potential members, and inspire more stakeholders to look to the oceans for efficient, reliable renewable energy,” said president and chief executive Liz Burdock (pictured).
“Our new name-Oceantic Network-symbolizes the broadening of the network’s scope and strategy, extending our members’ leadership in offshore wind to encompass multiple sources of sustainable ocean power that build off of offshore wind.”
