The ELEMENT project webinars explore how tidal energy pioneers are solving some of this new sector’s most important challenges.

The webinars give you the chance to hear from Europe’s leading commercial developers working in tidal energy alongside academic researchers, project engineers, environmental and economic analysts. You can put your questions directly to them, live, online, from wherever you are in the world.


Tidal Power Express 2021

The UK is the world’s leading source of tidal technology innovation: our developers have achieved a series of world-firsts that are attracting international interest, including: the world’s first grid-connected tidal array, tidal-powered electric cars, largest tidal array and most powerful tidal turbine.

ORE Catapult takes a whistle stop tour around the UK’s leading tidal energy developers, including Nova Innovation, to learn more about its technology, projects including ELEMENT, and growth plans.
