Our Oceans and our waterways are one of our most precious resources, a critical component in managing the climate and also a key enabler for UK manufacturers and suppliers to reach out into international markets. Can we capitalise on emerging technologies in a sustainable and coordinated way to deliver on their promises of emissions reduction, cleaner oceans, and improved trade, connectivity and productivity, supporting new skills development and jobs. One thing is clear is that the solutions in the maritime space will need to be delivered through concerted international collaboration and a proper partnership between industries and government.
This session aims to hear from experts on some of the leading disruptive and enabling technologies, including green propulsion, autonomy, future communications and to explore the barriers to success and the drivers which will help overcome these.
