Member News: Leading Scottish AI digital tech company Fennex scoops the Award for Outstanding SME at the Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards 2025

Aberdeen-based Fennex was presented with the Award for Outstanding SME, sponsored by Scottish Enterprise, at the Scottish Renewables Green Energy Awards 2025. Fennex headed a highly competitive category, where it was recognised for leading the AI revolution in offshore wind. By turning bold ideas into real-world solutions, Fennex is helping to position Scotland at the forefront of innovation in renewable energy and high-risk operational excellence. 

Fennex’s global impact was acknowledged earlier this year when it received the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade (2025) for exporting AI-powered safety solutions now used across offshore operations worldwide — from the UK to the Gulf of Mexico. 

Accepting the award, Fennex Strategic Director and co-founder Nassima Brown said:
“This is the first year we have entered the Green Energy Awards, and although Fennex was originally deeply rooted in the oil and gas sector, where we successfully pioneered cloud-based, data-driven safety solutions delivering real-time visibility, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation, we wanted to transition into renewables and make a meaningful contribution to this important energy sector. 

“We developed WindSafe™, the first AI-powered safety assurance platform tailored to the sector, to address a critical gap in how offshore wind projects manage risk, safety, and assurance. We are grateful for the strong support we have received from ORE Catapult, AREG, and ETZ. With their help, and through direct collaboration with developers, we secured WindSafe’s first pilot across four major floating offshore wind projects in Scotland, including with BlueFloat Energy and Ørsted (Nadara). This deployment marks a shift in how safety and assurance are managed in offshore wind, showing how AI can reduce risk and accelerate digital transformation across the sector. Our ambition is to double the size of the company in the next three years, and renewables has a key role to play in helping us achieve that aim.” 

Founded in 2016, Fennex is a fast-growing, multi-award-winning AI digital technology company, successfully accelerating the innovative automation and digital transformation of health and safety management within the UK’s high-hazard energy sector. Its entrepreneurial spirit is now driving industry-first innovation in offshore wind, transforming safety assurance with intelligent, predictive technologies and positioning Scotland as a global leader in clean energy and AI innovation.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
