At Ocean Business 2021

The Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute (SMMI) represented the University of Southampton at Ocean Business 2021 from 12-14 October.

The SMMI stand created a strong presence amongst the industry manufacturers and service providers represented at the exhibition.  With approximately 5,000 visitors to the show, SMMI maintained contact with existing collaborators and made many new connections, whilst promoting the University’s capabilities and showcasing the opportunities in marine and maritime research, innovation, enterprise and education.

The stand had a rota of SMMI member volunteers with representation across most faculties.  They all played a key role in helping to promote SMMI and the University to the stand visitors.

Ocean Business is now firmly established as one of the world’s biggest ocean technology events with more than 300 international exhibitors, over 180 hours of training and demonstration workshops, industry led associated meetings, a careers event and innovative networking opportunities.

New for 2021 was a conference on innovation and sustainability. Innovators and thought leaders shared how businesses can adapt to the energy transition, reach the world’s Net Zero Carbon targets and become more sustainable. Sessions were presented in a new Keynote Theatre on the show floor and were open to everyone.

As with previous shows, Ocean Business is a hands-on ocean technology exhibition and training forum, held at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.
