REX Offshore Wind Network Information

Offshore wind lies at the heart of the move towards a low carbon economy. The UK is already the world's number one market for offshore wind energy and a planned investment of £100 billion over the next 10 years underlines the strategic importance of the sector for economic growth and prosperity. However, major growth in offshore wind energy generation requires an expanded and more vibrant supply chain. The REX Network has been designed to help enable supply chain development in the offshore wind sector, by enabling developers, OEMs and their supply chain partners to effectively engage with one another. Members of the network can utilise the REX Connect partnering portal, to access a programme of exclusive online events, view collaboration profiles and communicate with other members in order to explore supply and partnership opportunities. New market entrants looking to diversify into the offshore wind sector can access market information via online events and then join the REX Network to develop contacts and gain business. Universities involved in offshore wind related research projects and companies interested in exploring academic/industry partnerships can use REX Connect to explore technology transfer, licensing and other collaboration opportunities. Offshore wind companies seeking investment funds can engage with an international network of VCs via the REX Funding service.
