Cornwall is establishing a hub for marine energy in order to help promote the region’s role in the sector.
Marine Hub Cornwall aims to enable the region to be a global leader for research, technology development and expertise in marine energy.
It will also promote Cornwall as the location of choice for businesses engaged in the development, deployment and operation of marine renewable technologies.
George Eustice, MP for Camborne, Hayle and Redruth, announced the launch of Marine Hub Cornwall during a keynote address at Renewable UK’s Wave & Tidal Conference today.
He said: “With world class assets such as Wave Hub, Marine Hub Cornwall will continue to secure Cornwall’s place as an international centre of excellence in the renewable energy technologies of the future.
“This, in turn, will secure the UK’s reputation as a market leader in offshore renewables.”
