1 Programme Overview Tim Hurst Subsea UK Inverness 15 February 2017

2 Wave Energy Scotland Running a Research, Development and Innovation Programme to develop wave energy technology using Scottish Government funding to re-engage private investors by reducing technical risk

3 Wave Energy Scotland Objectives Retain intellectual property and know-how in Scotland for future benefit Enable Scotland s indigenous technologies to reach commercial readiness Allow the public sector to exit in due course Ensure learning is retained and used to benefit the wave energy industry Avoid duplication in funding, encourage collaboration and foster greater standardisation Ensure value for money from public sector investment Promote greater confidence from private sector investors

4 About Wave Energy Scotland Funded by the Scottish Government FY16/17 is 10M A subsidiary of Highlands and Islands Enterprise To secure, for Scotland, cost competitive wave energy technology attractive to investors WES is developing a wave energy technology development programme that supports the development of wave devices, subsystems and components Up to 100% funding, continuity of funding in a competitive environment The programme currently has 30 active projects with 80 organisations from across Europe. The programme will further expand this year with additional innovation calls
