Maritime UK SW is supported by a mix of public, private and research partners who invest to enable cluster representation for the South West Ocean Economy.
The cluster offer two levels of participation: as strategic partner where you will have the opportunity to engage in cluster network activities and sponsor where the offer is solely focussed around promotion.
Maritime UK SW works to increase:
- levels of SW sector influence to national government,
- visibility of forthcoming sector opportunities and investments,
- links to and delivery of national programmes including the recent Maritime 2050 Strategy, the MarRI-UK innovation programme and a wide range of skills and careers programmes.
- opportunities to promote our strengths, such as hosting the Maritime 2050 awards, trade delegations and presenting at London International Shipping week.
The mission of Maritime UK SW is to bring together the breadth of our ocean economy, working in partnership to champion, grow and clean the sector.
We hope you also see the value of this activity and want to join us in making it a reality.
We can now offer two levels of engagement or buy-in to the work of the cluster:
Strategic Partners – for those who want to participate in delivering our objectives while also benefiting from increased exposure. Members should have a strategic interest in the work of the cluster and therefore will be subject to board approval.
Sponsors – for those who want to contribute financially and in exchange obtain exposure for their organisation via the cluster network and its marketing activity and collateral.
For other cluster groups nationally and internationally we also have a number of strategic Memoranda of Understanding with organisations to coordinate how work together.
In supporting the cluster you will create benefit for your organisation while also contributing to achieving the following:
