Scaling up wind propulsion technologies in North West Europe requires a strong value chain—from research and innovation to industrial deployment. To support this, the Wind4Shipping (W4S) project partners have started mapping the wind propulsion ecosystem across Brittany, East Flanders, Northern Netherlands, and Northern Germany.
Using the CRAFT platform, developed by Bretagne Développement Innovation/Agence Bretagne Next (BDI), we are visualizing all the stakeholders involved—from technology developers to end users. This interactive map allows you to see where expertise is concentrated, identify gaps, and understand the potential for cross-border collaboration.
This is just the beginning. The map is evolving and we need your input. If you are a stakeholder in the wind propulsion sector, you can request to add an entity and help us make this mapping more comprehensive.
