Ocean Connector: From Concept to At-Sea Reality

How do marine and defence technologies move from concept to operational deployment? This Ocean Connector brings together leaders from Ultra Maritime, Hawboldt Industries, and DRDC to explore how modular systems, collaboration, and access to testing infrastructure can accelerate innovation and reduce risk.

Using real-world examples, the discussion will highlight how advanced sensing and containerized technologies can move from development to deployable solutions, unlocking commercial, dual-use, and export opportunities.

Designed for industry leaders, innovators, investors, and decision-makers, this session offers practical insight into getting technology out of the lab and into real-world use.
