Maritime UK SW Clean Maritime Roadmap Review Meeting, Rescheduled 3rd October
At the request of the Department for Transport we have rescheduled the above meeting as a Clean Maritime Demonstrator Competition (CMDC) Network Building meeting. Organisations are encouraged to offer elevator pitches for their technologies as part of the meeting.
In June 2020 organizations from across the South West came together, hosted by Maritime UK SW to create an action plan to shift the dial on clean maritime in the South West. Since that time considerable progress has been made in fulfilling the plan created, “Maritime UK SW Clean Maritime Roadmap”.
This face to face (with the option of MS Teams) meeting will be an opportunity for the network to review and re-plan further actions to be carried out in partnership. In addition an agenda has been pulled together to help organisations looking to bid into the CMDC to pitch their ideas, network, learn more about what is happening and opportunities nationally and also to present their technologies with a view to partnering.
Marine sector to benefit from more support from Marine Business Technology Centre
New funding means the Marine Business Technology Centre (MBTC) in Plymouth will operate for another 12 months, providing valuable innovation support to businesses in the Devon. Based in Plymouth’s Oceansgate development, the MBTC has supported nearly 400 businesses since it was established in 2018.
The MBTC is a partnership led by Plymouth City Council with the Marine Biological Association (MBA), Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), the University of Plymouth and the University of Exeter.
