About us

A governance at the public-private interface

Since its creation, France Energies Marines has brought together around thirty public and private entities. Since then, our Institute has continued to open up to new partnerships in order to bring together members representing the sector.

A partnership with public and private governance representative of the sector

France Energies Marines is a non-profit organisation built around a broad public-private partnership bringing together 27 members. These are key players in offshore wind energy: manufacturers, academic and scientific organisations, local authorities and competitiveness clusters, all committed to a long-term joint programme. Our Institute is governed by decision-making and advisory bodies comprising entities from the public, private and voluntary sectors. This organisation enables us to maintain a high degree of consistency between our strategic direction and the needs of the industry.

A governance provided by decision-making bodies bringing together the public and private sectors

Our Institute has three decision-making bodies that form the basis of its public-private governance. These bodies ensure the transparency of France Energies Marines’ operations.

  • The General Assembly, composed of all shareholder members, appoints the Institute’s President and guides its strategy and functioning.
  • The Board of Directors, made up of 10 members elected among the Institute’s shareholders,
  • prompts and oversees the strategy’s operational implementation.
  • The Executive Management, appointed by the Board of Directors, which implements the strategy, and submits proposals to the Board of Directors. The Executive Management also oversees the implementation of the decisions made by the General Assembly and the Board of Directors, while handling the operational running of France Energies Marines.

High value-added advisory committees

In addition to its decision-making bodies, our Institute has set up two high-value-added advisory committees. These committees strengthen the consistency of our governance at the interface between the public and private sectors.

  • The Research and Development Committee brings together all members of the Institute. It proposes and prioritises scientific and technological topics to be developed within the framework of R&D projects. It examines the scientific value and impact on the sector of multi-partner projects set up by France Energies Marines. It also participates in updating the scientific and technological roadmap.
  • The Scientific and Technological Committee is composed of eight independent international experts. It issues opinions on our Institute’s scientific and technological programme and its implementation in R&D projects. It also makes forward-looking recommendations on desired developments.
