The intention with this event is 5-fold:
1. Feature new and innovative technologies in the field of maritime data and security;
2. Outline challenge areas to growth and implementation of new technologies in this sector and identify possible solutions;
3. Facilitate discussions among participants that solve identified challenge areas;
4. Create dynamic connections and integrated, collaborative possibilities among participating companies that serve points 1-3;
5. Allow for participants to facilitate, and benefit from, commercial opportunities.
● Exclusivity of this event will allow participants to drive narratives and first-mover advantages
● Different perspectives will allow for greater depth of possible solutions to challenges, or identifying new areas for commercial applications.
● Commercial players in the space will be a part of discussions that lead to unique partnership opportunities.
● The formation of a nucleus of partner organizations that will attract the attention of maritime data and security sector players across the board
● A better ability to attract a larger group of participants at BlueTech Week, where the discussion could be broader, yet continue to be more solutions-oriented.
