In 2020 the TIGER project organised a series of six supply chain webinars, developed in collaboration with leading tidal energy developers and other industry experts in order to open up supply chains and bring new ideas into the development of tidal stream energy.
Below is a summary of the content of each of the webinars, with links to presentations and video recordings of the sessions.
The TIGER project is supporting the development and delivery of six tidal stream projects all at various stages of development. Each video provides supply chain procurement details and contact information for tidal energy developers that are open to discuss new solutions with providers.
Further supply chain and meet-the-buyer events are planned. For updates on these, and other TIGER activities, please sign up for project updates.

In 2021 the TIGER project organised two ‘meet the buyer’ supply chain webinars. These were developed in collaboration with leading tidal stream energy developers to showcase short and near term supply chain opportunities across the TIGER tidal stream energy projects in the UK and France. Examples of supply chain opportunities on offer ranged from high voltage specialist connectors to contracting for maritime service vessels, high tech marine survey work and consultancy to heavy and advanced engineering solutions.
Both events were streamed live with simultaneous translation in French and in English. Below is a summary of the content of each of the webinars, with links to presentations and video recordings of the sessions, with site data packs available for each of the sites.
