Scottish Development International and The National Subsea Research Initiative (NSRI) have collaborated in a subsea trade mission to Japan, The Scotsman reported on 11 November.
The NSRI will research Japanese initiatives to identify and harvest methane hydrates. The mission will also expose British businesses to market insights and partnership opportunities with leading Japanese firms.
According to Gordon Drummond, NSRI project director, “UK firms could play a major role in helping Japan meet its energy targets, exporting the wealth of skills, innovation and experience honed in the North Sea”.
