The workshop

Navigate the future, playing a game based to collect insights on relevant topics with regards to the innovative ecosystem.

What is going on among the attendees, what role do (or can) they play with regards to climate change and how can we smartly harvest the collective intelligence in the room? In an interactive and dynamic way, input will be gathered on relevant themes/issues regarding the innovative ecosystem. Everyone has a voice, smart collaboration is key, people get each other’s views and have fun, while maximum output is collected.

In the workshop ‘Navigating the (maritime) future’ we will share insights, trends & developments, the challenges our industry is currently facing and how we are reframing those into opportunities through smart collaboration, turning a linear into a circular approach and leveraging technological developments.

By empowering the collective intelligence present, we look forward to fruitful discussions and defining new solutions and pathways for a sustainable (maritime) future.
