Communication activities
Ocean Energy Europe is the representative of the ocean renewable energy industry in the EU and works to achieve EU targets and objectives through the creation of a strong ocean energy industry in Europe.
To do this it works on a number of key dossiers such as the 2030 Climate & Energy Framework, EU Emissions Trading System, the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive, Blue Growth, the European Fund for Strategic Investment, the Ocean Energy Forum, Horizon 2020 and Parliamentary reports such as the Innovation in the Blue Economy report.
Each year, Ocean Energy Europe organises its annual conference and exhibition in strategically important Member States, bringing together European Commission representatives, European ministers, companies, universities and research institutes. The event provides the industry with an opportunity to assess developments to date and to agree on a vision for the future
Ocean Energy Europe contributes to a number of other strategically important ocean energy projects including ETIP Ocean, SmartSpend (both Horizon 2020) and Ocean DEMO (Interreg NWE project).Other activities

Meetings
Meetings
28 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
