Innovating Maritime

Our Innovating Maritime programme has been designed to help members access research and innovation expertise, facilities and funding. 

If you have any ideas for new or improved products, services or processes whether it’s a minor change to an existing product or major overhaul of systems and you’d like advice on how to find relevant experts or potential funding opportunities then please get in touch! 

We can put you in contact with experts in for example, Liverpool John Moores, the University of Liverpool, the Manufacturing Technology Centre or any other relevant research institutions such as the nationwide network of Catapult Centres. It doesn’t matter what subject; whether its manufacturing, energy, low carbon, logistics, data analysis, IT systems, automation, or even financial tools we will do our best to put you in touch with experts that can help.
