Global Underwater Hub - Bristol
Global Underwater Hub is holding a defence-focused industry engagement event at its new south of England hub in Bristol. Offering and promoting opportunities for cross-sectoral collaboration across the underwater industry is a key part of the organisation’s remit.
One area where opportunities exist is in the defence sector, and this half-day event on Thursday, 08 February will explore some of these. It is being held in conjunction with our strategic partners London Tech Bridge – a collaborative initiative between the US Navy and the Royal Navy.
This member-only event provides a platform for industry and representatives of the US and UK naval services to meet and explore opportunities for working together. If your company has a technology or product which could be utilised by the navies to address a specific challenge, or is currently in the early stages of developing new equipment and is seeking feedback on possible applications, then this event aims to offer insight and the opportunity for discussion with the relevant parties.

It supports dialogue, joint investment and cooperative development between both navies as they endeavour to advance from interoperability to interchangeability.
