We are just after “The OECD-European Commission Foresight Workshop on the Future of Cleantech Value Chains and the Role of FDI-SME Ecosystems.” What are the most important aspects of the cleantech in Europe? Some of them were discussed in the panel “How to scale-up cleantech production in the EU’s less developed regions?”. Monika Wójcik, our Industrial Sectors Promotion Manager, was one of the panellists. She raised and discussed many important factors, such as: 🔹 Changes in Poland's energy mix over the years towards renewable energy sources. 🔹 Development of the offshore industry in the northern part of Poland as an opportunity to generate a large amount of clean energy. 🔹 Planned wind farms as the development of the entire supply chain for this industry and attract new foreign investments such as Siemens Gamesa, Archer Poland, Semco Maritime, Green Industries, or Vestas, creating new jobs and facilitating technology transfer. 🔹 The development of green mobility drives investments, for example, in batteries and the leadership of Poland in battery production for the mobility sector, with investments from LG Chem and ongoing development at Northvolt Poland in Gdańsk. This change in the approach to the energy mix attracts new investments. 🔹 Invest in Pomerania's activities in attracting projects to the region, including foreign promotion, providing substantive knowledge, investor support, talent attraction initiatives, and regional cooperation (Pomeranian Offshore Platform). Moreover, many interesting workshops took place, with one of the topics, conducted by Stratos D. Kamenis, being European strategies for battery sector. It was a great opportunity for our representatives, Monika Wójcik and Robert Wesołowski, to exchange the experience with other industry leaders. Representatives from European countries, institutions, and companies from the cleantech industry participated in the event. It was an excellent opportunity to showcase the strengths and development prospects of this sector in Pomerania, as well as to engage in discussions with companies regarding investment opportunities in the region.   Marco Bianchini Irina Grigoryeva OECD - OCDE #wecaremore #cleantech #renewableenergy #offshore

Innovate UK and Ofgem have announced the priority challenges for Round 4 of the Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF). The SIF priority challenges provide a focus for participating innovators and networks to develop new products, processes or services that will save consumers money, benefit the environment by reducing carbon emissions, and improve access to renewable energy for all. The priority challenges: ▶️ Faster network development: Accelerating the pace of network development to meet net zero ▶️Greater heat flexibility: Increasing development and use of flexibility for network and system benefit ▶️ Embedding resilience: Preparing future energy networks to be resilient ▶️ Towards net zero energy networks: Developing an efficient net zero energy system Innovators are invited to complete an Expression of Interest form (EoI) (https://ow.ly/zto750QSsjx )for Round 4, the form also gives the opportunity to outline ideas to tackle the announced challenges. The EoI stage will give Innovate UK an opportunity to engage innovators in developing ideas before submission into the Round 4 Call for Ideas; opening on Innovate UK’s Innovation Funding Service portal on 1 May 2024. Successful innovators will have an opportunity to pitch their idea to the energy networks. Networks will then invite the most suitable pitches to partner with them to develop their ideas further, with the aim of applying to the Discovery phase of Round 4 opening in September 2024. To find out more about the Round 4 challenges and how to apply to the fund, attend the Round 4 Challenges Launch Webinar on 15 March 2024: https://ow.ly/5Wvj50QSsm6
