SUMMARY:MRC Global Updates Webinar Series | Webinar 1
DESCRIPTION:As global marine renewable energy markets expand\, Canadian companies are increasingly well-positioned to support projects around the world. Most notably\, the offshore wind sector has become one of the fastest growing energy markets in the world.  To date\, member companies have successfully engaged in international offshore wind (OSW)\, tidal\, wave\, and river current energy\, and MRC aims to continue fostering and facilitating these opportunities for trade and export.  \nThe MRC Global Updates Webinar Series\, exclusive to MRC members\, is designed to provide market intelligence on established and key emerging markets across offshore wind and other marine renewable energy industries. Each session highlights where opportunities are emerging and how Canadian companies can participate. \nIn this first webinar\, Sean Whittaker\, Lead of the World Bank Offshore Wind Development Program\, will provide an overview of the global offshore wind industry\, highlight activity in established markets\, and outline growth trends in key emerging markets\, including Brazil\, Colombia\, the Philippines\, India\, and Romania. He will also identify where opportunities exist for Canadian value and supply chain providers to diversify and engage in these markets. \nMeet the Speaker 👇 \nSean Whittaker is a mechanical engineer and co-founder of the World Bank’s Offshore Wind Development Program. This Program\, founded in 2019\, has helped accelerate the uptake of offshore wind in over 25 developing countries\, including Vietnam\, the Philippines\, Sri Lanka\, India\, Brazil\, Colombia\, and South Africa. He is also the co-founder of the Bank’s Scaling Wind program which develops utility-scale onshore wind projects in developing countries\, including Barbados\, Ivory Coast\, Mozambique\, and Mongolia. Prior to joining the World Bank Group in 2011\, Sean served as Vice-President of the Canadian Wind Energy Association. He started his career in wind in 1993\, spending five years in Madagascar designing\, building\, and installing windmills for rural irrigation projects. \nDate: January 21\, 2026Time: 1:00 – 2:00 pm ATLocation: Virtual \n \n** Exclusive to MRC members
