SUMMARY:Offshore Wind Futures | Virtual Supplier Workshop: Help Shape Atlantic Canada’s Offshore Wind Supplier Program
DESCRIPTION:As Nova Scotia moves toward its first offshore wind projects\, regional businesses are asking practical questions: Where do we fit in the supply chain? Who are the buyers? And what do we need in place to compete? Marine Renewables Canada (MRC) is developing a supplier education program to help businesses prepare for these opportunities—and we want to hear directly from industry about what that support should look like.  \nIf you’re an Atlantic Canadian business with interests in offshore wind\, join this interactive virtual workshop to share your perspectives and help shape the content and priorities of MRC’s Offshore Wind Futures supplier education program.  Through live polls and facilitated discussion\, participants will help identify the information\, training and support businesses need to prepare for opportunities in the offshore wind industry. Your input will directly shape the content and priorities of MRC’s future supplier education activities.  \nWhat to expect \n\nProvincial update: The status of offshore wind development in Nova Scotia \n\n\nUnderstanding the supply chain: How procurement works\, who contracts whom\, and where regional companies may fit \n\n\nIdentifying barriers: The challenges suppliers face when entering the offshore wind supply chain \n\n\nTraining and certification: Workforce development\, training and certification requirements \n\n\nShaping the program: What businesses need to know\, and how the program can best support them \n\nAbout Offshore Wind Futures \nOffshore Wind Futures is a two-year initiative led by Marine Renewables Canada\, with support from the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. It will help Atlantic Canadian businesses prepare for and take part in the offshore wind industry. The initiative builds on MRC’s Atlantic Wind Energy Supply Chain Assessment. That study reviewed about 1\,070 Atlantic Canadian companies with potential roles in wind energy and rated roughly one in four as highly applicable to the sector.  \nThe region starts from real strengths: engineering\, environmental monitoring and permitting\, large steel fabrication\, marine logistics\, vessel services and offshore operations experience. But the assessment also found that complex procurement systems and the certification requirements of top-tier suppliers can discourage local companies from competing. Offshore Wind Futures aims to close that gap through a supplier education program\, and we want to build that program around what businesses actually need.  \nRegistration details \n\nThe virtual workshop is open to Atlantic Canadian businesses. \n\n\nRegistration is limited to 60 participants\, with one representative per company. \n\n\nThis virtual workshop is an alternative to the in-person workshop in Halifax on December 1. Companies already registered for the December 1 in-person workshop are asked not to register for this virtual session. \n\nRegistration deadline: November 20\, 11:59 pm AT
