SMARTA, a project jointly funded by the Regional Development Agency and European Union Regional Development fund, has now helped over 30 marine companies achieve substantial improvements in their profitability.
Marine South East recently hosted delegates and speakers from more than 21 organisations at a SMARTA Sustainability Network event held at Port Solent.
The theme was an exploration of the ways in which businesses could enhance their research and development activities through working with universities and research organisations.
The SMARTA Sustainability Network is going from strength to strength and now has in excess of 80 members.
