Plymouth is to be the national centre for marine autonomy following an announcement by the Defence Minister during a keynote address at a major city networking event.
The city is already making waves in this area of marine technology, but the announcement - made by the Right Honourable Maria Eagle, Minister of State (Defence Procurement and Industry) - will catapult the city and its expertise into the spotlight.
The news came as the city played host to a gathering of the South West Regional Defence and Security Cluster, involving key figures from the world of marine and defence, and local companies to explore opportunities for future projects and investment.
The industry predicts a global marine autonomy market worth £103 billion by 2030, with the UK adopting a 10 per cent market share.
