Funded primarily by the North East Combined Authority (NECA), the TIGGOR programme has been established to support the acceleration of businesses in the region’s burgeoning offshore wind and subsea sectors, as well as encourage market entrance of companies that currently do not operate in these industries.
How the programme works with ‘Technology Demonstration Support’
The TIGGOR programme is delivered by ORE Catapult, EDF Renewables and Equinor. It is available to businesses located in the North of Tyne region. The TIGGOR programme aims to maximise future commercial investment in the supply chain via a technology demonstration programme to de-risk future investment. Technology demonstration support will provide businesses with technology assessment, advice and potential funding in the following areas.
The categories include, but are not limited to:
- Smart Digital Services & Autonomous Robotics
- Pre-assembly, Port and Harbour
- Floating Offshore Wind
- Open Category
