Conference Marine Energy

We invite you to receive the latest updates on technology, policies, projects and business cases within the marine renewable energy and maritime hydrogen industries.

Participants will have plenty of opportunity to meet with potential business and project partners, and to engage in discussions with scientists, business developers, technology suppliers and project managers. Crossover from the subsea industry is vital to develop the upcoming ocean industries.
