We’ve nearly made it through 2019 and what a year it has been.
I would like to thank everyone who has worked with the OGTC in 2019. We end the year with more than £130M co-invested with industry on more than 200 projects, 20 technologies commercialised and more than 30 field trials complete. We couldn’t do this without you!
I hope you enjoy this short video of our 2019 highlights – have a great Christmas and best wishes for a hugely successful 2020.
