about us :
France Energies Marines is a centre of pooled expertise in offshore renewable energy that has gained recognition for its valuable achievements since 2012 for the European industrial sector. To accomplish this, it draws upon its in-house talents (85 employees), its network of industrial and academic experts and at sea infrastructures (English Channel, Atlantic Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea). Its mission is to define, set up and apply the scientific and technical environment required to overcome technological viability barriers, while satisfying environmental integration criteria.
France Energies Marines stands out for its cross-disciplinary approach, which provides the entire sector with the innovative and validated tools needed to reduce the cost of producing energy and financing operational projects. The Institute develops differentiating and holistic approaches to reduce the time needed to build offshore farms. The Institute is built around a public-private partnership, bringing together 27 members who are key players in the energy sector in France and abroad.
