Energy Transition Norway invites member companies of GCE Ocean Technology and Energy Valley to apply for the opportunity to present their innovation project to ETNs Technical Committee, comprising technical representatives from operating companies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

In November, this committee, consisting of technical leaders from operating companies (Equinor, Vår Energy, Norske Shell among others), will hold their quarterly meeting.

Three member companies will present their innovative solutions, and we have open spots on the agenda.

Who can apply?

We welcome proposals from the following sectors:

  • offshore wind
  • hydrogen
  • CCUS
  • solar
  • geothermal energy
  • petroleum technology, especially within plug & abandonment (P&A), increased oil recovery, or any technology contributing to a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions.
Why apply?

This is an opportunity to present your solution directly to technical representatives from leading energy companies and relevant research and innovation organisations. Selected proposals will receive industry feedback and may provide a basis for further collaboration. If one or more companies choose to engage, ETN can support the development of the proposal into a cluster project and help explore relevant funding opportunities.

How to apply?

Submit your proposal, using this template, by October 9th, including a brief description of your solution (max. 500 words), project status, how it contributes to CO₂ emissions reduction, and your company’s contact details.

Send your application to Margie Gonzalez margie.gonzalez@energycluster.no with the subject "Technical Committee Pitch – [Company Name]".

Application deadline: October 9th, 2026

Do not miss this unique opportunity to position your company at the forefront of Norway’s energy transition.
