MEM Services - Investors
Any new industry requires investment to develop. In the very early stages of development such funds may come from Business Angels or High Net Worth individuals. As the development continues corporate private sector investment becomes available. As each marine industry sector develops it has an increasing need for investment funding for both technology development and project development.
As many coastal states and islands countries place more emphasis on offshore energy the demand for private sector investment will grow very considerably – the UK for example will require over £50bn of funding, to meet its 2020 offshorewind installation targets.
Wave and tidal development somewhat lags behind offshore wind but will also require very significant investment as we approach commercialisation. MEM's significant experience of the developing wave and tidal sector assists investors considering the marine energy market place. Our knowledge of policy, markets and technology help investors make informed decisions about market entry. Our services include market analysis, technology assessment and forward planning activity.
MEM recently produced its second global wave and tidal development review providing a snapshot of how the sectors are developing. The review is available to download here:
