Maritime UK (MUK) Solent is one of nine regional maritime cluster organisations that has been recognised by Government and is set to benefit from funding from the Government's Maritime Cluster Development Fund (MCDF). 

MUK Solent has secured £85,000 from the total £1m fund, which is designed to help maritime cluster organisations secure investment for local industry, deliver skills, training and educational programmes, and build organisational resilience. 

This fund recognises the important role the maritime sector plays, but also within coastal communities – many of which have many social and economic challenges.  A flourishing maritime sector can raise prosperity levels and improve futures.
