The UK Flag Forum returns to the QEII Centre, London on 16th April 2026.

Join us for the UK Flag Forum 2026: Innovation, Safety & Sustainable Growth that brings UK Flag customers, shipowners, industry leaders, innovators and government partners together to advance the future direction of the UK maritime sector.

The day will open with keynote addresses from Minister Keir Mather MP and senior leaders from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). Throughout the day, you’ll hear how the UK Flag’s capabilities are evolving and explore emerging priorities across safety, sustainability, digital transformation and technological innovation.

This event will also exclusively showcase the new UK Maritime Innovation Hub, alongside the £488m UKSHORE programme, highlighting how new and ambitious ideas can be developed into practical solutions to strengthen UK shipping.

Dedicated meeting spaces will be available for one-to-one conversations with MCA senior leaders, technical specialists, UKSHORE and Innovate UK.
