Maritime Dual Use Workshop – Solent Region 

There is increasing convergence between defence and commercial applications in areas such as surveillance, asset tracking and cyber-security.  This presents 'dual-use' opportunities for business.  Not only can convergence share costs across different applications, but also it offers broader market access for innovative products and services.

Recognising these trends, non-profit Marine South East is hosting a conference targeting maritime dual-use opportunities in autonomous systems and satellite applications.  Both of these themes are on a growth curve for investment, and are attracting widespread interest across public and private sectors.  The goal of the conference is to highlight innovation priorities and initiate relationships across defence and commercial, involving major primes and SMEs.

The conference will take place on 4th April 2017, as part of the Ocean Business  www.oceanbusiness.com   event programme in National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Southampton.  Registration is free, and includes an evening reception for networking. Programme for the day attached. Register for 4th April 2017 event by the following link http://www.marinesoutheast.co.uk/make_booking/?id=3811

The following day, 5th April, a B2B matchmaking event is being hosted also in NOC.  This is being organised by the Enterprise Europe Network in partnership with Marine South East.  This will enable firms to hold more detailed discussions on a one-to-one basis. Register for 5th April 2017 event by the following link https://www.b2match.eu/oceanbusiness2017/sign_up
