The offshore wind industry is one of the main economic pillars of Eemshaven. With a lot of offshore wind experience and all (nautical) facilities available, the Eemshaven (in North Groningen) is ideally equipped as a construction and service port. Due to the fact that 15 Dutch and German off-shore wind farms have been built from Eemshaven, an excellent track record has been built in recent years. The port has been used for construction, storage and transportation of foundations, windmill poles, turbines, wicks and other parts. With the realisation of even more wind farms above the Wadden Islands, in the Netherlands and Germany, the Eemshaven is expected to continue to play an important role as a construction and service port. Once the parks are realised, this does not mean that the work on the parks stops. On the contrary, the operation and maintenance of the wind farms (Operations &Amp; Maintenance, for short O&M) will require particular attention in the coming decades. And that offers opportunities for the North of the Netherlands: here is the availability of infrastructure, companies, knowledge, skills and innovation to become a leading region for the offshore wind sector precisely in terms of O&M. However, this requires further development of the sector in the region. Increasing the innovative capacity in the region to be distinctive and of added value is ‘key’. Many large companies and SMEs are working to exploit the same market opportunities in the offshore wind sector and find that they cannot do so alone. There is a need and willingness to cooperate and innovate in the pre-competitive playing field. Experience also shows that this type of cooperation does not go by itself. Mutual trust is important, as well as making the approach and results concrete by actively guiding the process. At present, over 100 initiatives are known by the Northern Netherlands Offshore Wind (ideas, plans and feasibility studies) in the field of offshore wind energy. Examples include the development of a drone robot for detection and repair of rotor blades and a movement detector to prevent electricity cables from coming above the seabed. Many of these innovations require similar preparations, such as consortium formation, project development, planning and funding. In the North of the Netherlands, the cluster network Northern Netherlands Offshore Wind (NNOW) started in 2010 with over 150 companies active in offshore wind. The companies are working through the NNOW on concrete issues in the field of offshore wind. However, a new form of cooperation is necessary with the aim of exploiting further market opportunities in the offshore wind industry and a suctionary effect on other companies still outside the offshore wind industry. The offshore wind industry has the potential to be an important part of the energy supply of the whole of the Netherlands and Northwest Europe. Offshore wind energy therefore plays a major role in the Climate Agreement and all other energy agendas in these regions. In the North of the Netherlands, all elements for large-scale production of offshore wind are present. And this fits well with the ambition of the Northern Netherlands to make an important contribution to the climate objectives, including by focusing on large-scale production and deployment of green hydrogen in industry and transport. The planned investments in offshore wind farms above the Wadden Sea make the green electricity needed for this green hydrogen available in the region. The Offshore Wind Innovation Centre (OWIC) is an initiative of a consortium of Hanze Hogeschool Groningen, Noorderpoort, Hogeschool Saxion, University of Groningen, New Energy Coalition, Groningen Seaports, NNOW (including nine SME members), Stark Learning and TCNN. They invest in this and take the lead in creating a state-of-the-art and unique open innovation ecosystem that any industry, SME, government or knowledge and educational institution can participate in. Northern Netherlands and in particular the Eemshaven is the logical place to attract the role of innovation engine in the offshore wind industry. The Eemshaven has all the ingredients to fulfil this role: the port is already an important offshore hub and energy-intensive companies like Google have already established themselves precisely because there is a lot of sustainable offshore wind energy available.

De offshore windindustrie is één van de belangrijkste economische pijlers van de Eemshaven. Met veel offshore windervaring en alle (nautische) faciliteiten voorhanden is de Eemshaven (in Noord-Groningen) geweldig uitgerust als constructie- en servicehaven. Doordat inmiddels 15 Nederlandse en Duitse off-shore windparken vanuit Eemshaven zijn aangelegd is in de afgelopen jaren een uitstekend trackrecord opgebouwd. De haven is gebruikt voor constructie, opslag en vervoer van funderingen, windmolenpalen, turbines, wieken en andere onderdelen. Met de realisatie van nog meer windparken boven de Waddeneilanden, in Nederland en Duitsland, is de verwachting dat de Eemshaven een belangrijke rol blijft spelen als constructie- en servicehaven. Als de parken eenmaal zijn gerealiseerd betekent dit niet dat de werkzaamheden aan de parken stoppen. Integendeel, het bedrijven en onderhouden van de windparken (Operations & Maintenance, kortweg O&M) zal de komende decennia vooral aandacht vragen. En dat biedt kansen voor Noord-Nederland: hier is de beschikbaarheid van de infrastructuur, de bedrijven, de kennis, kunde en het innoverend vermogen om juist op het vlak van O&M voor de offshore wind sector een toonaangevende regio te worden. Dit vereist echter verdere ontwikkeling van de sector in de regio. Vergroting van het innoverend vermogen in de regio om daarmee onderscheidend en van toegevoegde waarde te zijn is daarbij ‘key’. Veel grootbedrijven en het MKB werken aan het benutten van dezelfde marktkansen in de offshore windsector en merken dat ze dat niet alleen kunnen. Er is behoefte en bereidheid om samen te werken en te innoveren in het pre-competitieve speelveld. De ervaring leert ook dat dit soort samenwerking niet vanzelf gaat. Onderling vertrouwen is belangrijk, net als het concreet te maken van de aanpak en de resultaten door het proces actief te begeleiden. Op dit moment zijn er ruim honderd initiatieven bekend bij het Northern Netherlands Offshore Wind (ideeën, plannen en haalbaarheidsstudies) op het gebied van offshore windenergie. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn de ontwikkeling van een dronerobot voor detectie en reparatie van rotorbladen en een movement detector die moet voorkomen dat elektriciteitskabels boven de zeebodem komen. Voor veel van deze innovaties zijn vergelijkbare voorbereidingen, zoals consortiumvorming, projectontwikkeling, -planning en financiering nodig. In Noord-Nederland is in 2010 het cluster netwerk Northern Netherlands Offshore Wind (NNOW) met nu ruim 150 in offshore wind actieve bedrijven gestart. De bedrijven werken via het NNOW kort-cyclisch aan concrete vraagstukken op het gebied van offshore wind. Echter, een nieuwe vorm van samenwerken is noodzakelijk met als doel het benutten van verdere marktkansen in de offshore windindustrie en een aanzuigende werking op andere bedrijven nu nog buiten de offshore windindustrie te realiseren. De offshore windindustrie heeft de potentie een belangrijk onderdeel te zijn van de energievoorziening van heel Nederland en Noordwest-Europa. Offshore windenergie speelt dan ook een grote rol in het Klimaatakkoord en alle andere energieagenda’s in deze regio’s. In Noord-Nederland zijn alle elementen aanwezig voor grootschalige productie van wind op zee. En dit sluit goed aan bij de ambitie van Noord-Nederland om een belangrijke bijdrage te leveren aan de klimaatdoelstellingen o.a. door in te zetten op grootschalige productie en inzet van groene waterstof in de industrie en vervoer. De geplande investeringen in offshore windparken boven de Wadden maken dat de benodigde groene elektriciteit ten behoeve van deze groene waterstof in de regio beschikbaar komt. Het Offshore Wind Innovation Centre (kortweg ‘OWIC’) is een initiatief van een consortium van Hanzehogeschool Groningen, Noorderpoort, Hogeschool Saxion, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, New Energy Coalition, Groningen Seaports, NNOW (inclusief negen MKB leden), Stark Learning en TCNN. Zij doen hiermee een investering en nemen het voortouw om een state-of-the-art en uniek open innovatie ecosysteem neer te zetten waaraan iedere industrie, MKB-er, overheid of kennis- en onderwijsinstelling mee kan doen. Noord-Nederland en in het bijzonder de Eemshaven is de logische plek om de rol van innovatiemotor in de offshore windindustrie naar zich toe te trekken. De Eemshaven heeft namelijk alle ingrediënten in huis om deze rol te vervullen: de haven is reeds een belangrijke offshore hub en energie-intensieve bedrijven als Google hebben zich al gevestigd juist omdat er veel duurzame offshore windenergie voorhanden is.
