The Offshore Wind Innovation Exchange (OWiX) has opened a call for ideas for its first four innovation challenges, which have been identified by major players in the offshore wind industry.
OWiX is a cross-sector pilot scheme that aims to accelerate the cost reduction of offshore wind by matching industry challenges with innovative solutions adapted from other parts of the economy.
It is the first in a series of activities planned for the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub, which is delivered jointly by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and Innovate UK’s Knowledge Transfer Network.
The call is open until Friday 11 August.
ORE Catapult research and disruptive innovation director Stephen Wyatt said: “OWiX forms a key element of the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub and is helping us align the sector’s priorities with the UK’s most innovative companies.”
