The Maritime Innovation Forum is taking place on 5th November 2024 at Newcastle University

Designed as an opportunity for businesses in or on the periphery of the maritime, marine, naval, offshore wind or ocean science to understand the range of support on offer to help business to create commercially viable innovation.

The event is intended as a one stop shop showcasing:
- Access to grants and investment
- Support from local and national research partners
- Access to research assets and programs
- Access to skills

In addition the event will showcase the assets, exemplar business case studies and forthcoming strategic investments in the North East in addition to ample time for networking and collaboration.

In order for the sector to innovate and solve the considerable challenges of decarbonisation, digitisation and of course finding the right talent we will require ideas from sectors outside maritime so if you don’t consider yourself a maritime business please don’t be put off, much of the content will be applicable to cross sector businesses. Content will be focussed around innovation but will be in language suitable for the non/semi-technical.

The event is a partnership between Maritime UK, Society of Maritime Industries (SMI)Newcastle University MarRI-UK and Innovate UK and is organised by Maritime UK SW.
