Innovation Regulation Paradox, Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute, 21st May 2015
The Innovation Regulation Paradox taking place at the SMMI, Southampton on 21st May 2015 will explore the way in which regulation and innovation combine and impact to the economic growth of the Marine and Maritime sector.
The event is supported by the British Marine Federation, Hampshire County Council & the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute.
This event will offer a great opportunity to listen, discuss & network with industry experts whilst hearing from a great line up of speakers and live discussion panel.
The way in which regulation and innovation combine is vital to the economic growth of the marine and maritime sector. If regulation is too lax then safety might be comprised. Too tight and it might stifle innovation. Other sectors such as aerospace and automotive are often regarded as being more innovative than marine and maritime.
How have they achieved this?
What can the marine and maritime sector learn from the experiences in aerospace?
Using a series of case studies including composite materials, autonomy, LNG as a marine fuel and emission controls for vessels, this event will demonstrate the relationship between innovation and regulation and consider whether or not the balance is right. If not, how can an optimum balance best be achieved?
