The goal of the EDF Pulse awards is to
support and promote people inventing tomorrow’s decarbonized world by proposing innovative solutions that enable us to all move forward towards carbon neutrality. This year, the EDF group and Pôle Mer Méditerranée are co-organizing an award specifically for offshore windmills on the Mediterranean Sea, more specifically for innovative solutions for inspecting and working on sea-based platforms and managing the biological colonization of submerged structures.
Companies have until March 14, 2023, to submit their applications.
Following the selection process, six companies will be invited to present their innovative solutions to a panel of experts at the world’s largest event dedicated to offshore wind energy, Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) 2023, on May 10 in Nantes. The announcement of the winners and the EDF Pulse “Offshore Wind Turbines on the Mediterranean” award ceremony will also be held during this global event dedicated to new technology, which last year brought together over 1,200 participants in Montpellier.
