The brief

The centre, which has received backing from a range of globally innovative partners as well as Government Agencies, such as the National Shipbuilding Office, will establish Torridge and wider Northern Devon as a globally leading research and development destination for innovation in clean maritime technology and support industries.

Expected to open in early 2026, the centre will feature cutting edge research and industry partnerships from the Centre for Future Clean Mobility CFCM, University of Exeter and the University of Plymouth.

Designs include flexibly designed innovation workshops and offices to enable businesses to undertake sector-leading R and D.
