They enhance the impact of innovative research and development and provide a platform for sharing investment risk.<\/p>\n<p>The development of the Ocean Energy Forum is still at an early stage. However, it is proceeding against an ambitious agenda set by the Commission to develop 100GW of ocean energy by 2050. In support of this agenda, a comprehensive infrastructure fund will be put in place to tackle issues such as the provision of a strategic grid network.<\/p>\n<p>Article by Andronikos Kafas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Commission has developed a two-step action plan to support the emerging ocean energy sector in Europe.
