Energy Asset Decommissioning SME Event | ONE

Fast track your knowledge of energy asset decommissioning at this SME-focussed supply chain event.

To support SMEs to target future decommissioning business, Opportunity North East (ONE) and Scottish Enterprise (SE) are partnering on an energy asset decommissioning programme – working with operators to showcase a series of project-specific opportunities. Since the launch of the programme in 2018, we have engaged with supply chain companies and operators to help maximise opportunities related to decommissioning. This work has highlighted some specific areas where SMEs could benefit from focussed support and direction.

Join us on Tuesday 17 November 2020 to hear from industry experts who can signpost the way forward and help you navigate this potentially complicated landscape.

This free to attend event will be a fantastic opportunity for SMEs, working or planning to work in decommissioning, to develop their understanding of the sector, the support and expertise available, and who to contact.

An industry panel discussion and speakers will cover a range of topics including access to support, contracting strategy, international opportunities, potential funding channels and patent protection.
