Maritime Minister opens Maritime UK SW Clean Maritime Summit
Maritime UK SW are planning a Clean Maritime Summit on Friday 18th June to bring together ports, harbours, marinas, manufacturers, research, government and end users with the aim building a roadmap to achieve net zero in the South West ocean economy. The Clean Maritime Summit will host sector experts to present the challenges and opportunities for different parts of the SW ocean economy to decarbonise and design a regional roadmap.
Tidal Stream Supply Chain Events
Two supply chain webinars events are planned on the 10th and 15th June where project and technology developers from tidal stream sites across the Channel in France and the UK will share the details of their forthcoming development and procurement plans.
Funding for Innovation – Horizon Europe
The UK is able to take part in the Horizon Europe program. UK organisations will be able to access the €95.5Bn research and innovation programme on equivalent terms as those from Member States. A summary of forthcoming calls is listed in the full article. MUKSW will also host a SW briefing on 20th May.
Clean Mobility and the race towards zero emission transportation.
On Thursday 13th May, EXIST (Exeter Initiative for Science & Technology) will be returning with a virtual event exploring Clean Mobility and the race towards zero emission transportation.
This knowledge sharing & business engagement session will run from 10am – 12pm, focusing on the challenges, innovations and opportunities for zero emission transport, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and regional carbon neutral ambitions.

Driving the Electric Revolution: Supply Chains for Net Zero
The aim of this £22M competition is to address key research and development opportunities in the UK power electronics, machines, and drives (PEMD) supply chain to support the UK’s drive towards net zero. This is to facilitate UK niche and volume supply chain and manufacturing capability growth in PEMD.
Unique environmental sampling technology helps maritime ports to detect, monitor and manage their marine environments
Maritime UK SW Sponsor, Applied Genomics, based at Brixham Environmental Lab, have developed a sensitive environmental DNA Sampling tool which acts as an early warning system helping maritime ports to detect, monitor and manage invasive non-native marine organisms which potentially threaten the marine environment in ports and their surrounding coastal waters.
