Uncrewed Marine Vessel Developer Hydrosurv Makes Waves In Canada With The Global Business Innovation Programme
The Global Business Innovation Programme(GBIP) enables ambitious innovators to find partners, collaborate and expand in new markets.
The three stage GBIP programme firstly prepares the business for operating in a specific market, then takes the business to the country to meet key partners and contacts from government, academia and commerce. Finally it provides post-visit specialist support to help leverage the introductions made and grow the relationships formed during the visit.
Two floating lidar buoys deployed to pave way for regional development of floating offshore wind (flow) in the UK Celtic sea
Two advanced wind measurement buoys have been deployed in the UK Celtic Sea, between Cornwall and Wales, in a further step towards generating gigawatts of power from floating wind turbines.
The Floating LiDAR systems will provide data to pave the way for the strategic development of floating offshore wind (FLOW) in the Celtic Sea, which the Crown Estate has earmarked for up to 4GW of new clean energy capacity by 2035.
Supply Chain Exchange Dorset 15th July
Supply-chain remains one of the most pressing issues for many businesses! Not surprising given the hangover from the pandemic, Brexit, container ship log jams, natural disasters (flood, forest fires, etc) and geopolitical tensions, etc.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) suggested to be viable and safe:
Plymouth Marine Laboratory has been involved in a study that suggests storing carbon dioxide under the sea using CCS is both viable and safe.
CCS is a key mitigation strategy for keeping the global temperature rise below 1.5C. Offshore CCS can provide up to 13% of the global CO2 reduction target.
