AOFFTECH
Atlantic Offshore Tech
A transnational project to advance floating offshore wind in the Atlantic Area
AOFFTECH is a transnational cooperation project developed within the European Atlantic Area, a region with significant potential for the deployment of floating offshore wind energy. The project addresses shared challenges related to technological competitiveness, environmental sustainability, governance frameworks and workforce readiness across Atlantic regions.
By combining strategic coordination, applied innovation and cross-border cooperation, AOFFTECH aims to deliver practical and transferable solutions that strengthen the offshore wind value chain and contribute to the decarbonisation of the Atlantic Area.

Each region contributes specific expertise in offshore wind development, research, governance and industrial capacity, supporting a shared roadmap for floating offshore wind in the Atlantic.
Transnational cooperation enables common challenges to be addressed jointly and reinforces territorial cohesion within the clean energy transition.
Activities and Working Approach
These activities include
Exchanging experience between offshore experimental platforms
This approach ensures progress from strategic coordination to operational implementation, generating results that are applicable and scalable across the Atlantic Area.
A Complementary Partnership
Collaboration among partners from different countries and profiles is central to AOFFTECH. The project brings together offshore wind clusters, regional authorities, technological centres, universities and sectoral organisations.
This multidisciplinary partnership enables challenges to be addressed from multiple perspectives and maximises the impact and transferability of project results.
