6th Annual Entrepreneurship's Showcase & Leadership Forum


The marine robotics industry is maturing, and its' continued success increasingly depends on organizing to create the conditions for future growth.   This meeting of marine robotics entrepreneurs will improve your awareness of opportunities and technological trends while you contribute to a shared vision for the future.  Emerging industries such as offshore wind, naval autonomy, and aquaculture are creating market opportunities for your companies.  Increasing demand brings challenges into sharp focus.  Customers are demanding that we bring innovative, interoperable systems to market faster and simultaneously improve reliability.  Workforce issues remain a challenge, but many companies are proving that the dynamic environment in our industry is attracting top talent.  While the challenges are daunting, the potential for growth is attracting investment from states, the federal government, non-profits and the private sector. In the spirit of earlier meetings, we will structure the agenda around activities that benefit the entire industry and give you ample opportunity to engage with your peers, your customers, and potential investors. The world depends on the responsible use of the ocean.  Marine autonomy is making that possible.
