3rd Innovation Call is Open

🇫🇷 3rd Innovation Call is Open!

After the Dutch and Belgian hubs, the ORESA Accelerator Programme is heading to Brest for the French Hub, running 16-20 November 2026.

We're looking for SMEs with groundbreaking solutions (TRL 4-6) developing innovative products, technologies, or services in offshore renewable energy, including offshore wind, wave, tidal, offshore solar, nature-inclusive design (NID)  and blue +economy suppliers.

Based anywhere in North-West Europe? You're eligible. The French Hub is open to SMEs from across the entire NWE region, not just France. If your company is registered within the programme area, you can apply and take part.

During the intensive training week in Brest, you'll gain practical expertise in: 

🔹 Linking profitability with sustainability 
🔹 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) & Circularity 
🔹 Nature-Inclusive Design 
🔹 Policies for Sustainability

You'll also refine your pitch, explore new market opportunities in decommissioning and structural health monitoring, and connect with research institutes, policymakers, and industry leaders across the region.

Selected SMEs commit one staff member to undergo a two-month pre-training phase (~0.1 FTE), the in-person training week (lasting 4 days) in Brest, and a six-month follow-up with one-to-one coaching (~0.1 FTE). There's no cost to take part beyond travel & accommodation for the training week.

Are you who we're looking for? Don't miss this chance to take your innovation to the next level.
