"Our goal is to motivate as many companies from Germany as possible to apply via the second call," said Oliver Bretag, Project Manager for Green Offshore Tech at the Maritime Cluster Northern Germany. While the first call was aimed at certain regions, this second call is open to SMEs nationwide. "The formal hurdles for the application are not high and any idea for a green maritime sector is welcome. This allows SMEs to contribute to the entire project and to implement the EU's Green Deal," he pointed out.
