As part of British Marine’s focus on Technology and Innovation in the marine sector, it will be developing a Technology & Innovation Roadmap for the under 24m marine sector with the support of Innovate UK.
The sector is operating within a rapidly changing environment, embracing new and emerging technologies is vital to meet customer expectations and Government regulations and ensure global competitiveness.
The objective of the project will be to:
- Provide government and industry a single, validated source of information on the key challenges and innovation priorities within the UK under 24m marine sector
- Identify to innovators and the supply chain where there are potential market opportunities within the UK under 24m marine sector
- Provide funders and potential applicants with an evidence base for demonstrating the areas of the UK under 24m marine sector that have a demand for innovation
The Roadmap will be analysing the current areas of innovation not only within the marine industry but also from other industries where there is an opportunity for technology transfer it will build on the current work being undertaken by the Participation project and analysing current users and the consumer changes that will influence vessel design and usage over the coming years.
The first stage of the road mapping project consists of an online survey available here.
The survey responses will inform two road mapping workshops that will be taking place during March. If you would like to take part in the workshops, please complete the survey and fill in the final section with your contact details.
