Meet The Partners

RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB is a leading international research institute owned by the Swedish government. The RISE group consists of technical units and subsidiary companies covering a wide technical range, employs around 2800 co-workers and bases the services on its core values: trust, innovation and added value for the industry.

The SINTEF Group is one of the largest independent research organizations in Europe. Based on our vision "Technology for a better society", and strongly guided by the UN sustainability goals, SINTEF contributes to research-based innovation with the purpose of strengthening the industrial competitiveness of its partners and customers. SINTEF Industry is one of SINTEF's six institutes and has adopted a strategy that identifies a set of major strategic priorities with the purpose to intensify our contribution to sustainable value creation for society. SINTEF Industry offers high levels of expertise in the fields of tribology, lubricants, mechanical performance, and materials integrity.

NTNU has a main profile in science and technology, a variety of programmes of professional study, and great academic breadth that also includes the humanities, social sciences, economics, medicine, health sciences, educational science, architecture, entrepreneurship, art disciplines and artistic activities. NTNU educates ca. 80% of the engineers in Norway. NTNU participates in MORE with the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MTP), Faculty of Engineering (NTNU MTP) and will offer their more than 15 years expertise in tribocorrosion and multi-degradation testing and its fundamental understanding.

GCE NODE is an industry-driven cluster for ocean technologies. GCE NODE comprises 122 companies,
most of which constitute a world-leading value chain of suppliers to the oil & gas, offshore, energy and
maritime industries. Member companies participate in research, development and innovation projects which
explore common issues that need resolve. The cluster is dedicated to increasing and facilitating world-class
competency by offering insight into market developments, new industry opportunities and transfer of technology from the oil & gas sector to offshore renewables and other emerging markets and industries. GCE NODE cooperates with a wide range of research and academic institutions, national and international clusters, trade organizations, funding agencies as well as local, regional, and national government bodies and officials. The former GCE NODE ART project (NRC funded Petromaks project) led by GCE NODE is an important source of science-based knowledge to be utilised by the MORE-project, hence MORE to be considers as valuable spin-off project. GCE NODE will be responsible for transferring the existing knowledge from the Norwegian Offshore O&G sector to the MORE project.

CorPower Ocean brings high-efficiency Wave Energy technology enabling reliable and cost-effective
harvesting of electricity from ocean waves. With CorPower’s research and development spanning decades, their innovation is inspired by the pumping principle of the human heart. Ocean energy brings stability to the clean energy mix, accelerating the transition to zero-carbon energy. Headquartered in Sweden, with offices in Portugal, Norway and Scotland, they design, build and install turnkey solutions that allow their customers to power the planet with clean energy from ocean waves.

Wavepiston’s vision is to make wave energy an important player in the portfolio of renewable energy sources ensuring reliable, clean and cheap power and fresh water. Their mission is to commercialise a cost-efficient wave energy system for electricity production and desalination, replacing the dirty footprint of power generation and ensuring clean power and clean water for all.

SERVI meets today's market needs with green technology and customized, sustainable solutions. This helps customers to upgrade their hydraulic systems and keep environmental footprint and power consumption at the lowest possible level. Servi has existed for over 100 years and has Norway's largest competence environment within Power and Motion Control - hydraulics and associated technologies. SERVI will contribute to the MORE project with state-of-the-art knowledge on material selection for hydraulic systems used harsh conditions. SERVI will also provide the R&D with specifications for the new materials to be tested in the frame of the project.

VGA is an engineering company based in Italy, specialized in the design and development of complex
systems and high technology prototypes such as test rigs, electromechanical actuators and storage solutions. The company operates in the energy and aerospace sectors. VGA has been developing test rigs for multiple applications (e.g. fatigue, performance, reliability and end-stops) gaining an extensive knowledge. This expertise has recently been fostered by the design and manufacturing of a Dual-Hardware-in-the-loop testing platform for WEC subsystems under the H2020-IMPACT project.

Seal Engineering is dedicated to finding the best overall sealing solutions based on the latest technology, pushing materials and constructions to the next level. Over the last few years, Seal Engineering has made an extensive expansion of their research laboratory, production, and FEM simulation equipment to develop cutting-edge sealing solutions for robust, high-performing systems for the renewable energy markets.

The CETPartnership is a multilateral and strategic partnership of national and regional research, development and innovation (RDI) programmes in European Member States and Associated Countries, aiming to boost and accelerate the energy transition and to support the implementation of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan).
