In collaboration with Yachting Ventures we are launching a brand new 'Innovation Zone' at the Southampton International Boat Show.
Running from 24-28 September, the space caters to 12 startups and is designed to spotlight the most promising and innovative startups from the marine industry in one interactive area.
This initiative forms part of a wider collaboration between Yachting Ventures and British Marine, the UK's leading trade association for the leisure, superyacht and small commercial marine sectors and owners and operators of the Southampton International Boat Show.
Both Yachting Ventures and British Marine are committed to helping new businesses grow, providing access to networks, resource and industry insight, while championing innovation and sustainability.
Why exhibit?
Aside from offering emerging businesses the opportunity to showcase their solutions in a central location within the show, Yachting Ventures also offers a 360 degree marketing campaign, to boost your profile and increase your exposure.
The exhibition package includes a branded booth, media exposure in the form of press releases and social media content. In turn, startups will gain direct access to decision-makers, partners and potential investors and increase their exposure and visibility.
The Innovation Zone will be located in New Wave Hall, stand H168.
What’s included in the package?
- Branded exhibition stand, including a counter and chairs
- Listing on the show catalogue/map
- Exhibitor and guest badges
- Access to a shared Innovation Zone Lounge to receive customers and partners
- PR features and social posts on both the YV and SIBS channels before and during the event
- Access to photography and content taken throughout the event
The price for participating is £1,800 and capacity is limited to just 12 startups.
The opportunity is initially open to members of the Yachting Ventures community and members of British Marine, before being opened up to the wider startup community.
