Appledore Clean Maritime Innovation Centre

Scheduled to open in 2026 and funded, in part, by £15.6m from The Levelling Up Fund, the new Centre will provide a regional focal point for activity across the Celtic Sea, supporting innovation in fields from clean propulsion to maritime cyber security, cyber security to robotics, aquaculture to environmental intelligence.

Benefits to the area include job creation, educational impact from primary schools through to universities, partnerships with local, national, and international industry and modern office space for research and development, new and established businesses.
