Yachts & Superyachts South Coast Powerhouse Summit conference will bring together thought-leaders from U.K.`s south coast yachting industries, together with international figures, to discuss the following topics:
*How can we persuade UK owners to keep larger yachts in the UK rather than the Med?
*Attracting and retaining local South Coast talent
*Focus on the South Coast powerhouse: local build and refit facilities take centre stage
*Regional Investment in the south coast: with the Freeport being set up, what other local spots could be attractive for superyacht build and/or refit facilities?
*What`s shaping the market locally and internationally? – examining the impact of exiting Russian buyers and inflation, AI and intellectual property, talent and the NextGen on client demand
* UK ECGD planned support for yacht builders/exporters via buyer credit guarantees: we look at who qualifies, the process of securing support for builders and buyers, plus the timing and costs involved
*Net Zero capabilities – alternative fuels, the use of alternative materials in manufacturing, raising awareness among owners, crew, and other stakeholders
Given the unprecedented welcome that the Yachts & Superyachts South Coast Powerhouse Summit has received, the conference is expected to attract up to 100 decision-makers, including builders, repair yards, marinas, insurance providers, associations, corporate service providers, lawyers, family offices, brokers, managers and financiers from the UK`s south coast, IOW, Channel Isles, London, as well as from overseas.
