Thank you Tech Talk '25 Sponsors

As the excitement builds for the forthcoming British Superyacht Tech Talk '25 on 16 October 2025 at the stunning Harbour Hotel and Spa Southampton, we want to take a moment to extend our thanks to the main event sponsors who are supporting this event. The success of our event is built upon the foundation of collaboration and the generous support of such sponsors. Their commitment not only to our event but to the wider superyacht industry is a testament to the community spirit that drives us all forward.

We are delighted to announce that MDL Marinas is sponsoring the complimentary parking for all our delegates. As the leading marina operator in the UK, MDL Marinas provides a seamless experience for boat owners and visitors alike. With 19 marinas and boatyards across the UK and Spain, they offer a vast network of destinations for leisure cruising and competitive sailing. Their services go far beyond simple berthing, with a wide range of boatyard services including pressure washing, lift and relaunches, and storage ashore. They are committed to maintaining high-quality facilities, with recent investments in upgrades at their Ocean Village Marina in Southampton to ensure a premium experience for all. This support from MDL Marinas helps us to ensure that our attendees' journey to and from the event is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

A huge thank you also goes to LIIONTEK, who are kindly sponsoring the delegate lunch. LIIONTEK is a forward-thinking company dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions for lithium fire risks, a topic of growing importance in the marine industry. Their specialised products, including fire blankets for EV cars and storage and charging boxes for batteries, are crucial for ensuring the safety of vessels equipped with battery-powered systems. They understand that on a superyacht, being at sea means being on your own, and their solutions are designed to prevent small risks from escalating into major incidents. With their expertise and innovative products, they are helping to make the superyacht industry safer one vessel at a time.

We are incredibly grateful to PRAXIS, our sponsor for delegate refreshments. Praxis is a global financial services group with a deep-rooted history in the superyacht sector. Through their yacht services division, formerly Sarnia Yachts, they have over 50 years of experience providing end-to-end support for yacht owners. This includes a comprehensive suite of services such as yacht ownership structures, crew management solutions (covering recruitment, payroll, and administration), and full yacht management services to handle maintenance and regulatory compliance. Their expertise in navigating complex maritime laws and financial considerations makes them a vital partner for anyone in the superyacht world. Thanks to PRAXIS, our delegates will be able to enjoy fresh and energising breaks, allowing them to network and share insights throughout the day.

We are delighted to announce TWW Yacht Management and DNV as the sponsors for the Evening Delegate Soiree at our upcoming Tech Talk '25 event. This partnership perfectly embodies our objective of “Bringing together the globally renowned quality and excellence of the superyacht industry around the British Isles.”

DNV’s work in the energy transition is particularly noteworthy, providing a valuable perspective on how to navigate the shift towards more sustainable operations.

Furthermore, their involvement in setting and implementing international standards, such as those for AI management and innovation, highlights their role as a thought leader.

We are grateful for TWW Yacht Management and DNV's support and look forward to an evening of productive conversation and camaraderie.

Finally, it is felt that the Harbour Hotel and Spa, Southampton has become a spiritual home for British Superyacht with this being our fourth event held there. The feedback has been hugely positive regarding the venue around its great location being with a 'thematic marina background', excellent facilities with extremely helpful and supportive staff, all in a magnificent 'five star' hotel.
