AOFFTECH

Contribute to decarbonisation, mitigate climate change and reinforce the EU's energy independence through floating offshore wind energy

Project

Atlantic Offshore Tech (AOFFTECH)

Programme

Interreg Atlantic Area

Duration

30 months (2025-2027)

Budget

2.4M€

Summary

AoffTech promotes floating offshore wind energy to support decarbonisation, EU energy independence, and climate action. Through public-private collaboration, it connects technological developments, fosters shared strategies in the Atlantic Area, and strengthens educational networks. The project balances technological, ecological, and social perspectives, requiring transnational cooperation.

The main results include :

connecting and disseminating the technological developments of offshore experimental platforms
a cross-border ESG approach to deployment
the development of a shared strategy for the Atlantic Area on floating offshore wind
facilitating contact with the network of blue academies.

Objectives

AoffTech’s transnational challenge is to contribute to decarbonisation, mitigate climate change, and enhance the EU’s energy independence through floating offshore wind energy, a strategic technology for the Atlantic Area.

The overall objective is to boost the industry’s value chain and accelerate the deployment of floating offshore wind through public-private collaboration.
