As part of British Marines focus on Technology and Innovation in the marine sector, we will be developing a technology and innovation roadmap for the under 24 m marine sector.

This sector is operating within a rapidly changing environment, embracing new and emerging technologies is vital to meet changing customer expectations and government regulations, and to ensure global competitiveness.

The objective of the project will be to:

·        provide government and industry a single, validated source of information on the key challenges and innovation priorities within the UK under 24 m marine sector.

·        identify to innovators and the supply chain where there are potential market opportunities within the UK under 24 m marine sector.

·        provide funders and potential applicants with an evidence base for demonstrating the areas of the UK under 24 m marine sector that have a demand for innovation.

The roadmap will be analysing the current areas of innovation not only within the Marine Industry but also from other industries where there is an opportunity for technology transfer and will build on the current work being undertaken by the futures project, analysing current users and the consumer changes that will influence vessel design and usage over the coming years.

Please review the following questions, ranking the areas of innovation listed.
