UK Government Partners with The Captain's Table to Launch LISW25: Maritime Investment Pitch Event

As part of the Department for Transport’s programme of events, which will take place during London International Shipping Week 2025, DFT are running a Maritime Investment Pitch Event taking place on Tuesday 16th September. DfT are jointly running this event with the Department for Business and Trade and a not-for-profit accelerator called Captain’s Table.  

The purpose of the event is to provide smaller maritime companies with a platform with which they can pitch their business/product/service to a room full of prospective private sector investors. We wish to include maritime companies from across the sector, to exemplify the diversity and variety of maritime industries.  

Applications are open to UK maritime companies seeking investment and international companies expanding into the UK, giving both an exports and investment focus. 

The event is by invitation only and companies who wish to pitch must go through a short application process. The application window is officially OPEN and closes at 17:00 hours on 31 May 2025. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
