Sea Tech Week® 2026: Franco-Indian Marine Innovation in the Spotlight
- As the only French maritime event labelled under the France-India Year of Innovation 2026—officially launched by President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Narendra Modi—Sea Tech Week® is proud to welcome a high-level Indian delegation to Brest. Building on a partnership that began in 2022, when India was the event’s country of honour, this year’s edition will showcase cutting-edge collaborations in marine science and technology.
Two Workshops: Indian Expertise on the Global Stage
On 7 October 2026, two dedicated workshops will highlight India’s leadership in marine innovation:
- Advances in Marine Instrumentation and Methods for Marine Observations (by the Brest National School of Engineering (ENIB) & the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Goa) [Thematic track: Climate and Observation]
- Deep Sea Mining: Environmental Impact Assessment and Mitigation (by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT)) [Thematic track: Risks and Pollution]

Since 2022, France and India have deepened their collaboration in maritime research and technology. That year, 50 Indian delegates—including entrepreneurs, researchers, and the Indian Ambassador to France—attended Sea Tech Week®, marking the start of a fruitful exchange, in the context of the GOAT Project. This initiative exemplifies this commitment, bridging academic (development of a dual degree, joint PhD supervision, and mobility for researchers and students) and industrial expertise across borders.
