The French Renewable Energy Trade Association represents directly and indirectly thousands of industrials, companies, R&D centers from all of the renewable energy channels: biofuels, biomass, wood, biogas, renewable marine power, wind power, geothermal energy, hydroelectricity, heat pumps, solar photovoltaics, thermal and concentrated solar power. The primary missions of the SER are :
-to develop the share of renewable energy in France’s energy production and to promote the interests of the French private sector.
-to participate in the creation and implementation of legislative and regulatory framework. In constant contact with political authorities, ministerial cabinets, and the administration, the SER follows, from day-to-day, the discussions and work of the Assemblée Nationale (National Assembly) and the Sénat (Senate) and informs its members.

France Renouvelables is the trade association that represents, consolidates and promotes, through a systemic approach, the development of industrial electric renewable energies and associated storage and flexibility solutions, enabling our electricity system to evolve towards decarbonisation, sustainability and competitiveness.

Neopolia brings together nearly 240 industrial companies representing 30,000 jobs. More than 125 different professions are present in the network. 
The Offshore wind Cluster brings together 100 companies that combine their skills, know-how and offer tailor-made solutions to market needs. Neopolia is organized and prepared to respond to the demands of the sector’s leaders.

The 6 French clusters and business groups specializing in offshore wind energy have joined forces under the France Offshore Renewables banner to facilitate access to French companies for international decision-makers.
The alliance of Brittany (Bretagne Ocean Power), Pays de la Loire (Neopolia), Normandy (Normandie Maritime), New Aquitaine (Aquitaine Blue Energies), Occitania (Wind’Occ) and the Southern Region (Sudeole) brings together more than 500 French companies, most of which already have strong national and international references.

Thanks to the first feedbacks from the French parks, they are still improving their skills. Positioned across the entire value chain, they can meet the industrial challenges of developers, supported in particular by port infrastructures dedicated to offshore projects in each of these regions.  

Bluesign, an agency committed to the Energy Transition, leverages its expertise in professional network facilitation, communication, and event organization to support the development of the Offshore renewable energy sector and its stakeholders. Created to assist this strategic industry, Bluesign fosters synergies and accelerates the structuring of the sector in France and internationally.

Since 2016, Bluesign has been organizing Seanergy, France’s international forum on Offshore Renewable Energy. This flagship event brings together 4,000 participants and 200 exhibitors annually, including 30% international representatives, to support, connect, and strengthen the industry. The next edition will take place in Paris on June 17 and 18, 2025.

Employment and skills development are also central to Bluesign’s priorities. In 2017, the agency launched Workinblue, a platform dedicated to promoting careers, recruitment, and training in the marine energy sector. Initially designed to enhance the sector’s attractiveness and streamline recruitment efforts, Workinblue has evolved into a dynamic tool driving concrete actions to structure skills and attract new talent.

Throughout the year, Bluesign also works alongside stakeholders, supporting their communication strategies and event organization projects.
Through its tools and initiatives, Bluesign contributes daily to building a sustainable future by mobilizing all key players in the energy transition
