Pitch your innovation to a room full of private sector investors at London International Shipping Week 2025.
As part the Department for Transport’s programme of events which will take place during London International Shipping Week 2025, we are very excited about the Maritime Investment Pitch Event taking place on Tuesday 16th September.

Applications are open to UK maritime companies seeking investment and international companies expanding into the UK, giving both an exports and investment focus.
