The Ocean Tech Expo will build on the success of three previous events and will showcase leading technical capability and near market innovation capable of decarbonising and increasing productivity across a range of offshore activity.
The event will feature 70+ speakers across 2 days, with 2 lecture theatres running concurrently. The event will focus on applications to the most relevant market opportunities for the SW region demonstrating technologies with cross cutting applications across markets including: offshore wind and renewables, defence, aquaculture and fishing and the decarbonisation of the wider maritime sector.
Ocean Tech Expo is brought to you by Maritime UK SW, a not for profit partnership of business, research and government dedicated to driving forward sustainable growth in the SW ocean economy. All proceeds from the event will be reinvested into the sector. For more information on our work visit the Partner and Sponsor page or click on the link below.
