Need

Providing opportunities for fishing and aquaculture stakeholders to engage with the latest global information and technology, learn and network from leaders, innovators and practitioners in the electric and hybrid marine space is key to enabling innovation and adoption. Participants will experience and engage with technology, approaches and people via the expo and conference program.

Through attending, participants will build their capabilities and share knowledge with peers/stakeholders to inform, enable and drive change in Australia. The project intends to maintain momentum through this investment, empowering stakeholders to communicate and extend their experiences to contextualise opportunities for Australia and encourage future participation and attendance at similar events.

Objectives

1. Support up to 10 people to attend 2024 Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo North America Exhibition and Conference
2. Enable global, local, connection and collaboration across traditional and emerging sectors

Summary

I believe the value that bursary recipients received from attending the Electric and Hybrid Expo was valuable in a number of ways. The networking opportunity for the younger members was valuable as they all shared experiences and were a little removed from what was happening on a global stage for alternative sources of propulsion and energy. The balance of a couple of older heads like Mike and myself balanced out  "what needs to be done / what can be done” across various industry applications.
I note that the US Expo was of a much smaller size than the European Expo and did not have the displays and working models available to interact with. There is no doubt that a visit to the European Expo for Seafood industry participants would be very valuable. This should be targeted at those parts of industry than could not attend the US forum due to season dates ( ie Trawl).
The participation of Dr Jennifer Marshall gave those attending a link into the FRDC executive and the relationship will be further strengthen by her attendance and interaction with the team.
