Ocean Business 2021

Last week Ocean Business 2021 took place at the National Oceanography Center, in Southampton, UK, from the 12th to the 14h of October.

Ocean Business is an International ocean technology exhibition where over 300 companies come together to show their latest products and technologies. With hundreds of stands, training, demonstrations and presentations, it provides attendants an opportunity to see and test marine autonomous systems, sensors, vehicles and other tools in action during the three days of the event.

LSTS joined this year’s edition where we were able to disseminate our work, such as our well-known Light AUV (LAUV) and our WAVY drifters (H2020 project called MELOA) that consists of low-cost, easily deployable, high versatility, and low maintenance systems for in-situ measurements for marine environments. 

The event represented a great opportunity to foster current partnerships as well as create new ones and also provided technological enrichment for LSTS, promoting its growth in future projects and improvements in ongoing/past projects.
