Marine Technology Strategy...

Marine SE has developed a marine technology strategy with assistance from SEEDA, which started being put into practice late last year.

The objective of this activity has been to create a market-led perspective on future priorities for technology development in support of a growing, competitive marine industry.

The work has been carried forward in close co-operation with marine companies as well as the region’s strong marine science & technology base. The methodology to define the strategy, and the mechanism proposed to implement it, have a wide relevance to innovation within all high-value manufacturing and related service sectors. The outcomes offer new business-led ideas in focusing support for innovation.

The strategy was developed to build on a range of recent studies and consultations, including:
• A Marine Future Focus workshop hosted by DTI in May 2005
• The European Waterborne Technology Platform developed under FP7
• The Defence Technology Strategy published by MoD in 2006
• Other sectoral technology strategies, including that developed under AeIGT
• SEEDA’s Regional Economic Strategy 2006-2016

It addresses the needs of growth markets over the complete spectrum of marine
commercial activities, including ports, shipping, environment & security, shipbuilding & repair, marine equipment manufacture, leisure craft manufacture, energy & resource extraction, and marine services.
