SMMI Hosts Christmas Business Evening
On the 5th December the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) hosted the British Marine Federation (BMF) South’s Business Evening.
The theme of the evening was grant funding for business and a range of speakers from the Technology Strategy Board, Solent Local Enterprise Partnership and the HSBC helped to provide an overview of European Commission, UK and Regional funds available to support business growth.
Simon Lewis from CJR Propulsion joined Kevin Forshaw to present an overview of their engagement with the University and collaborations with Halyard were also mentioned to encourage more companies to engage on supported research and development projects.
The event was a great success with over 70 delegates attending from local maritime businesses, along with academic colleagues from the University, to hear about the range of support currently available.
