Breaking Waves conference 2019
Thank you to everyone who attended and made Breaking Waves 2019 a success! Read more about the event from our pressrelease (in Finnish).
Automation and digitalization are changing the world and transforming shipping in an unprecedented way. Climate change is arguably the biggest challenge of our time, and it is driving the entire maritime sector to focus on reducing the emissions and environmental impact of shipping. All the while worldwide maritime traffic is projected to increase rapidly in the coming years and the pressure to remain competitive in a global market is growing.
The European maritime cluster is facing some major challenges. However, it has enormous potential to address these issues and come out on top. From optimization of the logistic chain, to creating new technology and developing environmental innovations, the European maritime cluster is in a position where it has the capability to produce solutions, that can make a difference on a global scale.
Breaking Waves conference 2019 is bringing together the key players in the European maritime cluster to address the challenges and consider the keys to success in an increasingly tough global competition. Again, Breaking Waves will be part of the world’s leading start-up event SLUSH. This year focus will be on the perspectives of the entire logistic chain and ecosystems in maritime.
