Based in Aberdeen, SEGEC supports engagement with institutions, networks and technology platforms, influencing the future policy agenda and identifying opportunities for collaboration across different industry sectors.

Sponsored by the Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Scottish Power and Scottish and Southern Energy, and part funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Scottish ERDF Programmes for 2007-2013, SEGEC will play a catalytic role in accelerating the development, demonstration and deployment of new energy technologies, through its work in Scotland and with partners across Europe.
SEGEC's aims reflect the Government's priorities of sustainable economic development and combating climate change and priorities will include, but are not limited to: Marine Energy, Carbon Capture & Storage, Renewable Heat, SuperGrids and SmartGrids and Offshore Wind, and aims to facilitate high impact projects, which can make a real difference.
SEGEC offers a team of specialist staff and a focal point for organisations seeking to influence European Policy, undertake collaborative research and demonstration and deployment projects and access funding from the European Union. Although based in Aberdeen, SEGEC will offer a service across Europe.
