Anemo Robotics - Camera technology to provide an autonomous underwater monitoring solution for marine biodiversity assessment.
Kalypso Offshore Energy - Offshore solution provider with a specialized modular subsea cable repair and maintenance kit for flexible and quick mobilization.
MESPAC - Intelligence platform delivering accurate, continuous, and spatially-refined metocean data powered by satellites and AI.
Orpheus Ocean - Lightweight and modular Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for the collection of seafloor data.
REBLADE - Drone-based robotics tools for automatically repairing edge erosion of wind turbine blades.
Werover - Continuous, real-time monitoring of wind turbine blades using acoustic sensors and AI-powered analytics.
The Offshore Wind Innovation Hub Accelerator
A world-class accelerator program open to global offshore wind innovators. Building on two successful cohorts, this six-month intensive program provides unparalleled support for innovators looking to develop novel technology and advance commercialization in the New York offshore wind market. The 2025 cohort focused on novel technologies that can improve US offshore wind project economics.
The Offshore Wind Innovation Hub is an initiative led by Equinor in collaboration with Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and National Offshore Wind R&D Consortium.
