OEFS at the 20th SET Plan Conference

OEFS participated in the 20th SET Plan Conference, held on 4–5 November 2026 in Cork, Ireland, bringing the ocean energy perspective into discussions on the future of Europe’s strategic energy technologies. The event brought together policymakers, researchers, industry representatives and investors to exchange views on innovation, competitiveness, energy security and the transition to climate neutrality.

As part of the conference, OEFS contributed to Round Table 1: Technology Performance & Evidence, where discussions focused on how technological performance, research and reliable evidence can support the development and wider deployment of clean energy technologies.

The conference provided an opportunity to exchange knowledge and explore how research, collaboration and evidence-based approaches can contribute to Europe's clean energy future. By taking part in these discussions, OEFS helped highlight the role of ocean energy in the wider European energy landscape and its contribution to the clean energy transition.
