Oceantic Network and SeaAhead are pleased to present Startup Alley at the 2025 International Partnering Forum (IPF), taking place April 28-May 1, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Pitch your business innovation directly to offshore renewable energy stakeholders!
Startup Alley offers companies working in the offshore wind and ocean renewables sectors an opportunity to pitch their business innovations to attendees at the largest ocean renewables conference in the Americas. Pitch your business and connect with thousands of industry leaders working in the global supply chain!
As the offshore wind and ocean renewables industries continue their rapid growth along U.S. coastlines, there is a need for innovative businesses in the supply chain to help reduce costs and ensure sustainable development. It is often difficult, however, for startups to find their foothold in this growing and changing industry. Startup Alley gives your business the opportunity to showcase your innovations and directly connect with industry leaders and stakeholders.
As the support system for the offshore wind industry, operations and maintenance (O&M) and health and safety (HSE) are critical for the successful operation of U.S. projects.
With several offshore wind projects in operation and more under construction, we have reached a critical moment for O&M and HSE. What are the industry standards for operations and maintenance? Operational wind farms also require a trained workforce that values safety – how can we ensure that safety remains a high-level priority as the industry moves forward?
Join us January 29-31, 2025, in Providence, RI, to discuss the nexus of these industry support systems and the critical need for them to work together.
