Past deployments

“The pre-consented sites and real-sea testing capabilities of META are invaluable, allowing us to focus on innovation rather than getting bogged down in regulatory processes.”

– Arne Vogler, Senior Research Engineer, ORE Catapult

“META gives you great flexibility and control. Everything you need is at hand– a choice of easy access sites from sheltered to open water, vessel operators and marine suppliers. It all helps to cut the costs down significantly, and allowed us to manage our deployment risk by going slowly, trying things out and spending more time on the details. We also found Saul’s structured approach to planning and navigation risk extremely helpful. It gave us peace of mind that everything will run smoothly, and it did.” 

– Professor Ian Masters, Swansea University

“META offers turn-key support to the realities of product testing and validation, along with great local knowledge, advice and contacts. It works perfectly for technology developers wishing to efficiently accelerate their product development process.”

– Sam Leighton, Managing Director, Bombora 

“One of the META test sites is at Mainstay Marine. As fabricators, we can re-jig and make alterations very easily. Developers don’t have to worry about transporting their devices. They can deploy and then have them back in the workshop the same day, ready for future-proofing the next stage. By de-risking, it ensures projects run to budget and timescale and improves investor confidence.” 

– Charlotte Wood, Commercial Manager, Mainstay Marine Solutions
