Agenda Topic: Supplier Diversity x Unlocking The Offshore Wind Opportunity Timeline

• What is the offshore wind development timeline?

For the first time in our nation’s history, the Federal Government has made it a goal that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution. Our nation's clean energy transition is creating environmental, social, and economic benefits. Economically small/diverse businesses must engage with the industry today to be ready for tomorrow's opportunities. 

Only through early engagement can small/diverse businesses and local non-profits maximize economic opportunities within the offshore wind/clean energy industry. 

Virtually: Practical insights to support your business positioning and opportunity readiness to enter the offshore wind/clean energy industry from the developers, OEM, and Tier 1 accountably for local content.
