Uncrewed Marine Vehicles Expo 2025

30 September - 01 October 2025

Uncrewed Marine Vehicle (UMV) Expo is the leading international event focused on advancing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV’s) and remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV’s)!  

Dedicated to the development, deployment, and integration of next-generation maritime systems, the expo brings together global stakeholders shaping the future of operations at sea through autonomous systems. 

Spanning both surface and subsurface domains, this comprehensive event provides a premier platform for naval architects, marine engineers, system integrators, technology developers, regulatory bodies, defence leaders, ocean scientists, offshore energy operators, and policymakers. It is designed to facilitate the exchange of critical insights, foster inter-industry collaboration, and showcase the latest technological innovations in uncrewed marine systems.

The uncrewed maritime market is expanding rapidly, driven by a convergence of technological breakthroughs, strategic imperatives, and commercial opportunities. Increasing demand for advanced capabilities in maritime surveillance, subsea inspection, and environmental monitoring—across both defence and commercial sectors—is accelerating global adoption.

Whether supporting commercial, scientific, defence, or environmental missions, uncrewed marine systems are reshaping the operational landscape at sea, and UMV Expo 2025 is where the future of these innovations converges.

What to Expect:

- Explore the Exhibition: Meet over 200+ leading exhibitors showcasing the latest technologies, platforms, and integrated solutions in surface and subsea autonomy.

- Gain Knowledge: Attend 60+ hours of complimentary expert-led sessions covering regulatory developments, operational case studies, R&D breakthroughs, and cross-sector insights.

- Expand Your Network: Engage with top-tier professionals, innovators, and government stakeholders through dedicated networking events, roundtable discussions, and industry mixers.

- Stay Ahead of the Curve: Discover how automation, AI, robotics, and sensor integration are converging to redefine maritime operations for both defence and civilian applications.

With global interest surging due to strategic, environmental, and commercial imperatives, the uncrewed marine systems market is positioned for exponential growth. UMV Expo 2025 is the definitive event to witness this transformation in action, where future-facing technologies meet real-world missions.
