In a bold initiative to stimulate Dutch maritime innovation, MARIN decided to create a Concept Basin. And less than a year on, several new initiatives tested there have already been launched.

MARIN recognises that innovation starts with new ideas and in an effort to help customers during the concept design phase of their projects it took the decision to convert the High Speed Basin into a Concept Basin. MARIN offers six free, two-week slots every year to Small &


Medium Enterprises in the Netherlands. As soon as MARIN announced this initiative, the response was amazing. MARIN allocates projects based on selection criteria including innovation, feasibility and added value. Report highlights three of the concepts tested.
