WEBINAR: Technology Trends in the Marine Industry
As the next wave of innovation unfolds in a new digital landscape across industry sectors and processes, it is crucial to enable the marine industry to tackle challenges as it transitions into digitalised operations on a sustainable trajectory to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. This entails adopting technologies from other industries to lay the foundation for the marine industry to embrace a new level of technology.
These advanced technologies can fit into three key areas that reflect broader industry trends: digitalisation, clean energy transition, and applied research. This presentation provides an overview of technology trends in the marine industry and highlights several technologies poised to revolutionize the marine industry.
