#RUKGOW23 has highlighted a huge amount of innovation going into offshore wind. But where should industry, academia and government focus its efforts most?
A report last week was published by the Offshore Wind Industry Council with @ORECatapult attempts to answer this question – looking at areas where innovation can play its part in driving the sector forwards. 🌍
The report features examples of what great innovation looks like – from @bladebuglimited, @Proserv_ and @SupergenORE Hub . 🛠️
Read the press release and full report below with comment from Andrew Stormonth-Darling CEng and Laura Victoria Mejia, and foreword from OWIC Co-Chair Richard Sandford and CEO Andrew Jameison.

🪟 THE GLASS IS GREENER | Steve was at the launch of @GlassFutures in St Helens today.
♻️ The centre has the potential to position the region as a leader in the decarbonisation of energy intensive industries.
💷 It's backed by £9m of funding from @MetroMayorSteve and the CA.
💬 "Glass Futures is putting St Helens back on the map as the home of glass and a world leader in the green industrial revolution."
📺 Watch @MetroMayorSteve explain why @GlassFutures is vital to the region reaching its target to be net zero by 2040 - a decade before government.
After nearly a decade of development it is wonderful to see @GlassFutures officially open.
It is a critical element of how @LpoolCityRegion will lead and deliver decarbonisation of our foundation industries.
Very excited about the official opening of @GlassFutures in St Helens today. We've invested £9m in this incredible facility that will help decarbonise the glass industry and other energy-intensive sectors. And how fitting that it is in the historic home of glass.
