I’m thrilled to see Helsing opening its first UK Resilience Factory in South West Devon, bringing cutting-edge maritime technology and high-skilled jobs to our region.
This new facility will manufacture AI-enabled SG-1 Fathom gliders, helping to strengthen the UK’s and allied navies’ ability to protect our seas, undersea infrastructure, and critical supply routes. It’s a major step forward for innovation, skills development, and sovereign defence capability right here in South West Devon.
South West Devon has a proud maritime heritage, and this investment demonstrates real confidence in our people, talent, and local supply chains. It’s fantastic to see our communities playing such an important role in driving economic growth alongside national security, and I am excited to see the opportunities this will create for our region!
