This year’s Marine Autonomy & Technology Showcase (MATS) has publicised its full programme and keynote speakers, with the event taking place at the National Oceanography Centre’s (NOC) waterfront site in Southampton from 7-9 November.

Over almost a decade, MATS has evolved to become a crucial event in the marine technology calendar, drawing representatives from around the globe.

The event allows organizations to directly engage with NOC to dive into opportunities for funding, receiving and sharing ideas with high-profile, influential businesses and innovators from the maritime and marine fields.

The busy three-day showcase programme features presentations, exhibits, networking, and panel discussions, providing a key chance to explore the latest marine autonomous technology innovations and how this fast-developing sector is set to evolve in coming years.

The MATS 2023 Programme

The event will focus on five central marine autonomous technology themes by shining a spotlight on a wide variety of speakers who are experts in their fields from across academia, industry and government organizations. The speakers will cover the most up-to-date advancements and innovations in:

  • Sustainability and Net Zero Capability
  • User Requirements and Applications
  • Autonomous Platforms and Supporting Technology
  • Data Collection and Information Generation

The final theme will be a deep-dive into The Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, looking at emerging technologies and the latest trends in this sector on top of the opportunities and obstacles that the industry could have in store.
