Marine-i
Accelerating growth through innovation

The University of Plymouth are proud to be a partner on Marine-i, designed to help the marine technology sector in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly grow through research, development and innovation.
Over the next 20 years, marine technology will be transformed as a new wave of innovation allows us to exploit the full potential of our oceans in ways that were previously not possible. Bringing these new technologies to market will demand new ways of thinking and Marine-i will be pivotal in ensuring new levels of collaboration across different scientific and technical disciplines.

Our history is rooted in the marine sector. The University first opened as a school of navigation in 1862, and is now home to the University’s Marine Institute, first and largest such institute in the UK.
Our COAST (Coastal, Ocean And Sediment Transport) Laboratory can be used for physical model testing with combined waves, currents and wind offered at scales appropriate for device testing, array testing, environmental modelling and coastal engineering.
Our team of experts in electrical, mechanical, ocean science and technology will support marine businesses in areas of research, testing and evaluation, working in or alongside the companies.
