FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONSORTIUM
Information related to the companies participating in the consortium and their role.
One of the differential factors defining the SEAPOWER project is that it is the first large scale collaboration project in the offshore wind power sector among the major Basque engineering firms and the leading manufacturers of structures and components. This relationship will enable the former to incorporate improvements in their proposals, whilst the latter will have direct access to fundamentals of design that will facilitate the concept, development and validation of new (and improved) solutions for the sector.
