Programme Launched for UTC

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Underwater Technology Conference 2024 programme, celebrating our 30th event.

This meeting, set in Bergen, Norway from June 11th to 13th, promises a comprehensive look into the latest advancements in underwater technology.

It's an opportunity to share your knowledge, learn from leading experts, explore innovative solutions, and network with the industry. We welcome you to join us for three days of shaping the future of subsea technology.

Programme

This year’s conference theme, “Affordable Energy”, holds significant importance as we’ve all maneuvered the Energy Trilemma, focusing on energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability.

Energy affordability aims to provide reasonably priced energy for everyone, urging the industry to offer efficient, cost-effective energy solutions through advancements in subsea technology.

To us, affordable energy is about letting technology be a key driver to a more efficient energy production.
