The Cluster’s Hub demonstration event in Italy |
|
|
|
The Italian PELAGOS Hub Demonstration Event was launched during the event “Blue Energy: Technological trends and market opportunities for Italian companies” held in Rome, 29th September, and jointly organized by ENEA and Union Camere Veneto.
The workshop was organized in a morning session devoted to the presentation of the Interreg-MED programme and of the PELAGOS and InnoBlueGrowth projects, followed by the reviews on the current status of technology development at national level in the sectors of offshore wind (OW) and ocean energy (OE), presented by the two national representatives in the Temporary Working Groups (TWG) of the EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan).
A point was also made on authorization procedures, in the context of the Environmental Impact Assessment (VIA).
The afternoon session was instead conceived as a pitch event, and it was the occasion for exchanging information among stakeholders, investors, start-ups and enterprises, about the most promising technologies and funding opportunities, both public and private.
The 58 participants to the event appreciated the meeting and its objectives. Representatives of SMEs were really interested in the profiling activities, while investors found the pitch event extremely useful, as it gave them the opportunity to better understand the current development of technologies. In particular, private investors need to quantify the risk of their investments and to identify, among available technologies, the most promising ones.
