GSW Marine and Maritime Workshop in partnership with Maritime UK SW

GSW Marine and Maritime Strategy Workshop in partnership with Maritime UK SW, 4th May, 10:00-15:30, Venue TBC (expected to be in Plymouth or Exeter).

The Great South West is a Pan-Regional Partnership covering the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. It aims to promote the region’s ‘blue and green’ assets, as part of its ambition to become the ‘UK’s Natural Powerhouse’, and the first region to become net zero.

The Great South West is partnering with Maritime UK SW to help scope the priorities for the region’s blue economy including how the South West can contribute to the Government’s top priorities, including increasing inward investment and exports, establishing the country as a science superpower, and transitioning to net zero.

In order to better understand the priorities for the sector Maritime UK SW will host a marine and maritime Strategy Workshop. 

The event will cover: 

• The scale and nature of the marine and maritime economy in the SW
• National and international context and Government priorities for the sector
• Key opportunities to stimulate the sector and achieve net zero. 
• Discussion of current barriers to sector growth and how these might be overcome
• Discussion of potential solutions either within the sector or those that might be levered through government. 

The event is focused at those in the maritime or periphery sectors from business, government and research including high value manufacturing. 

Lunch will be provided and there will be time for networking set aside. 

A venue for the event will be confirmed shortly and will likely be in either Plymouth or Exeter.
