Before
Cognitive was founded in 2018 by three ex E.ON and Uniper employees with the goal of advancing machine learning capabilities, to drive efficiency and safety in the energy sector. The team at Cognitive had the passion, the expertise and the skillset needed to make their vision a success, but they lacked funding to build products like WAVES. The team found OWGP through the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult network and successfully applied for two rounds of grant funding support.
What they say
“
It’s hugely helpful to have a dedicated source of funding to bring innovative ideas to life for the Offshore Wind industry. Without OWGP’s support, it would have taken much longer to develop the WAVES product.”
