[Live Stream] Nordic Maritime 2022: Green Transition to a Sustainable Ocean Economy
By 2030, the Nordic region will become “the most sustainable and integrated region in the world” and to make this vision reality, actions for strengthening the sustainability of oceans and ocean industries are called for. The Nordic initiative on Sustainable Ocean Economy aims to strengthen Nordic ocean industries by promoting cross-border collaboration, and by creating new opportunities for growth and innovation in the region.
The Nordic Embassies, Trade Promotion Offices and Nordic Innovation House in Singapore and Nordic Innovation will be cooperating to brand Nordic Solutions within Sustainable Ocean Economy in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
This year, the joint Nordic Maritime conference will focus on promoting the Nordic sustainable shipping and port operations, OceanTech, green maritime innovations, and show how we support businesses, research and academic cooperation with Singapore and the Southeast Asian region.
It will be held in conjunction and co-located with the annual Singapore Maritime Week organised by the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore.
