The offshore wind energy industry is primed to grow exponentially by 2030 on a global scale. This growth presents significant and immediate opportunities for new entrants into international supply chains, particularly for firms already involved in related activities that are easily transferable.
In this regard, opportunities exist for Atlantic Canadian firms traditionally providing technologies and services to domestic oceans industries (such as oil and gas) to become new exporters, or for firms already engaged in international business to diversify in to a new industry.
While projects are emerging worldwide, many of the major project proponents and supply chain decision-makers are in Northern Europe. Atlantic Canadian firms need strategic and targeted guidance on how they can penetrate existing offshore wind supply chains.
NEIA intends to engage a consultancy to conduct a study that will provide strategic guidance on supply chain penetration for Atlantic Canadian firms looking to diversify and internationalize through penetrating offshore wind energy supply chains based in Europe.
