The Crown Estate Awards GBP 5 Million In First Supply Chain Accelerator Round

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

The Crown Estate has awarded nearly GBP 5 million in funding to 13 organisations across England, Wales, and Scotland in the first round of its Supply Chain Accelerator.

These three paragraphs add more details.

According to The Crown Estate, the funding will help kick-start projects drawing down from a GBP 50 million fund established in May this year to accelerate and de-risk the early-stage development of UK supply chain projects that service the offshore wind sector.

The Crown Estate’s match funding will contribute to a combined development investment of over GBP 9 million, which, if the opportunities successfully conclude their respective development stages, could lead to more than GBP 400 million of capital investment, said the UK body.

Projects receiving funding include those enabling floating wind platforms, anchoring and mooring systems, operations and maintenance facilities, test facilities, and those supporting the skills

The grants have been widely spread in both the public and private sectors and appear to be supporting a variety of technologies.

What About Project Management?

When the four of us started Metier Management Systems to develop Artemis in the 1970s, we got no help from the Government or any agency.

I wonder what difference, government support of this nature would have made?

I don’t know whether any project management development is being supported, but it is my view, that each new generation of projects will bring forward new challenges.
