Innovation will be taking centre stage this September at the Southampton International Boat Show, where British Marine, in collaboration with Yachting Ventures will unveil a brand-new Innovation Zone, running from 24th - 28th September 2025.

Located in a high-profile area of the show, the Innovation Zone will showcase 12 of the most promising marine start-ups, offering a dynamic platform for cutting-edge ideas, sustainable solutions, and next-generation technologies.
