The new UK office, located in the Northeast of England, strategically positions Edgewise near key offshore wind developments and critical shipping and offshore logistics hubs. From this location, the company will offer a robust suite of services, including environmental monitoring and mitigation, with a particular focus on research and technology development in marine mammal and seabird detection. These services will support a range of marine sectors, including renewable energy, oil and gas, and marine infrastructure.
“Our entry into the UK represents both the culmination of significant effort and a response to the increasing demand for specialized expertise across the Blue Economy,” said Ashley Noseworthy, CEO & Founder of Edgewise Environmental. “This expansion allows us to share insights from global markets and grow our technology capabilities, reflecting our deep commitment to global collaboration and the advancement of science-driven, sustainable marine operations. We’ve had our sights set on the UK for some time, and since starting operations here in February, it’s already clear this was the right move for the company and our clients.”
Edgewise has also been welcomed into the UK Government’s Global Entrepreneur Programme (GEP), delivered by the Department for Business and Trade, which supports innovative companies looking to scale internationally. In addition, the company is actively participating in Venture Connect, an initiative led by the Port of Tyne that connects SMEs in the Northeast with investors and industry stakeholders across the maritime sector.
The company will focus its initial efforts in the UK on marine renewable energy. The country has the second largest offshore wind market in the world, with the goal to produce 43–50 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, including 5 GW from floating offshore wind technology. 1 Edgewise is uniquely positioned to help meet the increased demand for evidence-based environmental monitoring and mitigation.
