Official opening for FLOWIC

The First Minister officially opened the world’s first National Floating Wind Innovation Centre in the Energy Transition Zone, Aberdeen on Monday. ORE Catapult’s £9 million centre – delivered in collaboration with ETZ Limited, a True North client – is designed to help supercharge the development of floating offshore wind technology in the UK, with funding from both the Scottish Government and Innovate UK. This represents a huge step forward in Scotland’s ambition to be a global leader in the commercialisation of floating wind, harnessing the strength of our existing energy sector and supply chain.
