ORESA Accelerator Programme's first Innovation Call is now open!

October 16, 2025

The ORESA Accelerator is your chance to strengthen your sustainable technology, gain visibility, and connect with international experts and partners.

On 8 October 2025, ORESA launches its first Innovation Call for SMEs across the North-West Europe region. This unique programme helps companies build the skills, knowledge, and network they need to succeed in a market where sustainability is becoming a decisive factor.

Offshore renewable energy is growing fast, but the sector must also address urgent sustainability challenges such as biodiversity loss, material circularity, and the need to meet strict EU regulations. ORESA bridges this gap by offering SMEs access to training and expertise that are otherwise difficult to reach.

Selected SMEs will join an acceleration journey that combines networking, pitch sessions, lectures, and case studies. Together, they will explore four essential themes for the future of offshore renewables: Life Cycle Assessment & Circularity, Nature-Inclusive Design, Policies for Sustainability, and Profitability through Sustainability.

By participating, your company will not only improve its sustainability performance but also sharpen its competitive edge in tenders and markets that increasingly reward responsible innovation.

Don’t miss the opportunity to become part of a transnational community shaping the future of offshore energy—where sustainability and profitability go hand in hand.
