Subsea Innovation Day: What and How to Invent

Our annual Subsea Innovation Day will take place 26 April. Focus will be on future opportunities and challenges for the subsea industry.

A lot of effort has gone in to simplification and standardisation to reduce costs. This year’s Subsea Innovation Day will focus on new opportunities ahead of us. We will receive input from major players on where the industry can make the most impact to create value. We will also be advised about how companies should work to implement new solutions.
