Organizer:
Blue Maritime Cluster
Place:
ÅKP Blue Innovation Arena, 3rd Floor, Norwegian Maritime Competence Center (NMK)
Meet innovative national and international SMEs, along with well-known companies that have developed solutions in offshore charging, bunkering, and energy production. Share your thoughts on whether offshore charging and energy production are becoming viable options.
Offshore electrification is gaining momentum – and solutions for offshore charging, energy distribution and bunkering are emerging as key enablers for the maritime industry. This Blue Insights session is part of the EU project OASIS, Offshore Accelerator for System Integration and Storage, where ÅKP and GCE Blue Maritime Cluster are active partners. The aim of the OASIS project is to accelerate time-to-market for small and medium-sized enterprises developing innovative solutions for the offshore renewable energy sector. With several international OASIS stakeholders visiting Ålesund, the session offers a unique arena for international collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Panel Discussion
We conclude with a focused panel moderated by GCE Blue Maritime Cluster, exploring:
• What is required to make offshore charging commercially scalable?
• How can the maritime cluster take early positions in this emerging market?
• What types of international and cross-industry collaboration will be crucial?
18:30 - End
This session is part of the EU OASIS Project, uniting Norwegian and international partners working on next-generation offshore energy and charging solutions. The event is hosted by AKP and GCE Blue Maritime Cluster, as well as Norwegian Offshore Wind.
More Blue Insights sessions will follow later this year as part of additional innovation projects.
