Launched in 2013 and funded by Vanguard Initiative, the Advanced Manufacturing for Energy Related Applications in Harsh Environments (ADMA) Pilot is an innovation community dedicated to integrating the Blue Sustainable Economy value chain. Led by Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia, ADMA leverages the strategic geographic advantages of its nine Member regions, which possess a specialised ecosystem in offshore technologies, including cluster organisations, research institutions, and an advanced manufacturing base in marine renewable energy and wider offshore energy and subsea applications.

Through research, innovation, and development, ADMA's regions are establishing themselves as global leaders in offshore renewables. By reducing dependence on conventional fossil fuels, offshore renewables enhance energy security, foster sustainable energy systems, attract investments, and drive economic growth and prosperity for the regions.
