## Notice

Following the Surface Platform Power and Energy Roadmap Development Workshop in June 23 RN have recognised the demand within the Power and Energy space to connect with other organisations. For example organisations may specialise in different niches that may offer synergy when combined, or offer innovative products in a format RN would only buy as part of a wider project through a Prime rather than on an individual new or retrofit basis. This community of interest aims to put organisations in touch with each other for them to decide how best to utilise each others knowledge. On July 7th the CoI will close and the details submitted will be shared with everyone who registered. https://forms.office.com/e/sAi303UZ3p
