Technology Innovation System Analysis and Save the Date Announced

Published on February 14, 2023

Technology Innovation System Analysis Now Available

The University Marine Energy Research Community (UMERC) is excited to release our report "Analyzing the US Marine Energy Technological Innovation System." Our report, modeled on similar analyses in European energy contexts, uses the Technological Innovation System (TIS) framework to provide a systematic analysis of the marine energy research and innovation ecosystem within the United States. In it, you'll find the results from our annual survey and interviews, along with a description of the current state of the marine energy innovation ecosystem. The report draws on other research in innovation systems and policy to provide recommendations for strengthening the TIS to support innovation in the US sector. We hope that there will be something in this report for everyone: from those new to marine energy, who want to understand the current state of the sector, to those who have been dedicated to innovating marine energy for many years. The aim of the report is to spur innovation and collaboration across marine energy and adjacent sectors, so please read and share!

The report will always be available on the UMERC Website.

Save the Date!

UMERC is excited to announce the 2023 UMERC Conference will take place October 4-6, 2023, hosted by the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH.
