Some of the early entrants to the U.S. offshore wind market have launched an innovation hub in New York to advance the industry by supporting start-ups.
Equinor and bp, 50/50 partners on the Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects, have launched the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub that will facilitate partnerships with start-ups that bring new technological solutions to the rapidly growing US offshore wind industry.
The initiative comes from a new three-year partnership between Equinor, the Urban Future Lab (UFL) at the NY Tandon School of Engineering, and the National Offshore Wind R&D Consortium (NOWRDC), supported by New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).
