Supply Chain Roadmaps

We are currently offering local companies the opportunity to apply for a unique consulting engagement: Offshore Wind Supply Chain Roadmaps.

These individualized Roadmaps are designed to help companies enter the offshore wind supply chain or expand their activities within the sector, including leveraging local opportunities presented by the Empire Wind offshore wind project, which is currently under development.

Selected companies will benefit from one-on-one business consultation with leading renewable energy supply chain consultant Xodus Group. This will include an expert review of current capabilities and readiness to enter the offshore wind supply chain and a tailored report that describes relevant market opportunities and strategic next steps.

For first-round consideration, Inquiry Forms are due no later than Monday, September 15, 2025 at 5 pm. Eligible companies will be invited to fill out a full application. First-round Applications are due Monday, September 22, 2025 at 5 pm. Following review, finalist applicants will be scheduled for an interview beginning the week of September 29, 2025.
