Dr Paul Ellsmore

Paul joined ORE Catapult’s Glasgow team in October 2013 and moved down to Wales twelve months later, with the task of creating a meaningful operating presence in Wales, working closely with Welsh Government. He continues to lead ORE Catapult’s regional activity in Wales and is the Programme Manager for the Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence (MEECE), an £11m, 5 year project based in Pembroke Dock.

Prior to joining Catapult, Paul worked with the Energy Technology Partnership, a Scottish initiative supporting engagement between innovative SMEs and Scottish universities. A broad technology background, from power electronics, through cryogenics, to laser and optical technologies, allows Paul rapidly to assess opportunities for both technical and process innovation.
