Dear Ocean Energy Community,

The importance of renewable energies both forsecuring our energy supply and for establishing anenvironmentally friendly and low carbon economycontinues to grow. Our ocean energy sector ismoving ahead fast and is developing into a strategicenergy resource, ready to contribute its share to theenergy mix.

Ocean energy has the potential to create a pan-European supply chain with jobs in componentmanufacturing, infrastructure development,maintenance and many other sectors, given the rightpolitical and financial framework. I would like to takethe opportunity to encourage you, as members of themarine energy community, to join our Ocean Energy2012 annual conference and take an active part inshaping the framework and helping to increaseawareness and understanding of ocean energy withinthe greater EU community.

I am looking forward to meeting you in Brussels.

15:00 Reducing Technology CostsThere are six key areas to technology: cost reduction, doing, searching,using, interacting, scaling and economising through scale. This technologyprovider session will provide an insight into how a number of the leadingtechnology developers will be making the most of these six key areas toensure that the next tranche of devices deployed within European watersmove through their cost reduction programme.

Martin McAdam, Chief Executive Officer, Aquamarine Power Joseph Fison, Director of Corporate Development, Atlantis Resource Corporation

15:30 Networking refreshment break

Supply Chain Development

16:00 Developing a Viable Ocean Energy Supply ChainThe cost of marine energy technology is a function of many differentcomponents and subsystems that are used within a device. This session willexplore some of the solutions which the supply chain is bringing to theocean energy industry. Specific attention will be paid to solutions whichhave already been deployed and for which innovations are being developedin the areas of installation, O&M, drive train manufacture and reliability,foundations and moorings, blades and electrical systems. • Optimising technology installation, fabrication and deployment• Coordinating complex supply chain logistics• Lessons learned from offshore wind energy development• Interactions with other ocean industries • Competitive supply chain development through collaboration

o Collective lobbyingo Improved communication with political authorities

Moderator: David Krohn, Wave and Tidal Development Manager, RenewableUKJohnny Gowdy, Programme Director, South West Marine Energy Park Girish Nadkarni, Managing Director,ABB Technology VenturesAksel Hauge Pedersen, Senior Development Manager,Innovations Centre, DONG EnergyBjörn Bolund, Technology Area Responsible for Ocean energy, Vattenfall

17.00 Supply Chain DevelopmentAs the first ocean energy arrays continue towards reality this technologyprovider session will discuss current deployment case studies and thedevelopments required to facilitate the first large scale installations.
