Membership
Join the North Yorkshire Maritime & Renewables Cluster and connect your business to the full county supply chain — from the coast to every corner of North Yorkshire.
Our Mission
To build a coordinated, internationally credible cluster across North Yorkshire's maritime and renewables sector — connecting businesses, education and investment across the full county supply chain, from the coast to every corner of the county, to drive long-term economic growth, create skilled employment and position North Yorkshire at the heart of the UK's clean energy future.
Our Member Promise
When you join the North Yorkshire Maritime & Renewables Cluster, we make you five commitments.
We will connect you.
To businesses, partners, commissioners and investors operating across the maritime and renewables sector in North Yorkshire and beyond — giving you access to a network that would take years to build alone.
We will represent you.
Your voice, and the voice of the sector, heard in the right rooms — with local and national government, with funding bodies, with policymakers who shape the environment your business operates in.
We will inform you.
First to know about investment opportunities, procurement pipelines, funding calls, policy changes and market developments that are relevant to your business and your sector.
We will develop you.
Access to skills, training, education partnerships and workforce development programmes that help your business and your people grow with the sector.
We will champion you.
Visibility for your business — in our directory, our communications, our events and our wider stakeholder relationships — so that when people are looking for what you offer, they find you.
