To celebrate Maritime UK Week, we invite you to join our maritime and digital experts from LCR4.0 Holistic and Port City Innovation Hub (PCiH) on Monday 10th October 2022 as we explore the impact that new and disruptive technology is having on local markets, providing an opportunity for improved efficiencies, reduction of carbon emissions and diversification into new markets for improved growth and investment.

Learn more about the funded support available, hear from SMEs who have gone through the programmes, discover more about industry challenges from Maritime leaders and speak directly with our teams to see how they can offer your business bespoke and unbiased support.
