Nominate individuals for the
UTC Award
Deadline 29 May, 2023
The Underwater Technology Conference (UTC) Award is designed to recognize, celebrate and showcase the many outstanding achievements within the global industry of underwater technologies.
Now in its seventh year, the award is given to individuals or groups of people that have contributed their knowledge and understanding to advances in underwater technology, through the introduction of new products, services, methodologies and/or processes.
For this year’s UTC Award, we are encouraging nominations that highlight radical new underwater technologies that will contribute significantly to our collective drive towards low-carbon energy production; from renewable energies to energy efficient oil and gas recovery and even combinations of both.
In addition to the above, the judges will be looking for clear evidence of innovation, project execution, innovation, increasing efficiency, HSE and global commercial potential.
Technologies or project are expected to have been launched into the marketplace, or significantly upgraded or improved, or have occurred within the last 12-18 months.
Winners of the UTC Award will be chosen by a prominent jury, appointed by the Underwater Technology Foundation (UTF), UTC’s founder and co-organiser. As well as recognition by UTF, the winner will be announced during UTC 2023, the industry’s longest running and foremost subsea conference, ensuring wide industry recognition and exposure.
