Maritime Growth Summit 2023

The UK maritime innovation ecosystem includes high-potential technology companies, researchers, regulators, port operators, shipping companies and more. This ecosystem spreads across regions and is vital to supporting levelling up, building our new trading future and in increasing the export of UK IP to global markets.

Addressing the challenges faced in the maritime sector is of global importance, where the UK has significant and unique capabilities to tackle these challenges and grow our position as a world leader in maritime technology.

To unlock and support the growth of this ecosystem, Connected Places Catapult has launched the Maritime Innovation Flagship programme, delivered in collaboration with industry. This programme is accelerating the realisation of investment opportunities through innovation, delivering support to industry in identifying high-potential solutions and supporting innovators to achieve their growth potential.

This event will showcase the year one results of this programme, demonstrating the potential of innovation in maritime to deliver not only business benefits, but also to power key Government initiatives such as Levelling Up and stimulating economic growth.

Attendees are invited to engage with our innovators and industry partners and to work with us to shape the activity in year two and maximise our impact for investors, businesses, innovators and regions across the UK.
