In partnership with Womble Bond Dickinson, Maritime Solent is delighted to bring this session to LISW25 to raise the profile of the region's unique and globally leading maritime training and skills ecosystem.

For internationally mobile firms in maritime, the Solent is more than a location - it is a strategic asset.
The Solent region stands proudly at the helm of global maritime training and skills development. With a heritage rooted in naval innovation and marine science, this coastal powerhouse has evolved into a modern, agile, and world-renowned hub - producing the workforce, technologies, and leadership that shape the maritime sector of today and tomorrow.
