AUB x Sunseeker Partnership

As one of the world’s leading yacht manufacturers, technical and design excellence is a fundamental pillar to delivering a world-class product. Therefore, Sunseeker is always looking to innovate, develop, and test new concepts to remain best in class. That's where AUB's Innovation Studio comes in.

Academic and industrial collaboration will offer an opportunity for Sunseeker to further its goals of reducing waste, improving efficiencies, and elevating its offerings of product customisation.

As an Associate Partner, Sunseeker will have access to AUB's Lab 4 Creative Technologies meaning they can explore new solutions in an exciting and innovative way. AUB will provide the opportunity to experiment, using 3D Printing, Virtual Reality, Fabric Printing and more to explore new solutions.

This partnership with AUB will allow Sunseeker graduates, designers, and engineering and production teams to drive the company into a new era of manufacturing. Ultimately, they will have the ability to explore new technologies as part of the wider research and development process, investing in research to further value-driven manufacturing in the marine industry.
