The opportunity is as part of the Technology, Innovation and Green Growth for Offshore Renewables (TIGGOR) programme.
The successful companies - Transmission Dynamics, Kinewell Energy, SMD, Trident Dynamics and Unasys - will receive a share of £1.7m in match funding made available through the first round of the TIGGOR programme’s technology demonstration strand.
This has been funded by the North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA) as part of its wider Energy, Green Growth and Climate Change commitments.
NTCA has partnered with the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, which is delivering the programme on its behalf.
The companies applied for support to accelerate innovative technology concepts in key areas of operations and maintenance for offshore wind, including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), digital twins, cable arrays and sensors.
