OceanDEMO
's mission is to help the development of the Ocean Energy (OE) industry, by
identifying the current and future challenges and by de-risking technologies
through easy access to test sites.
We are in the process of
creating a brochure dedicated to Ocean Energy Investors
, which can be used to promote OE as a profitable industry. To this end, we believe
your input on your interactions with investors to date is valuable and would greatly inform this brochure
. For this purpose, can you please provide your feedback on the following questionnaire.
Thank you for your participation.
