AI for a Smarter Blue Economy

This session explores AI’s transformative role across the Blue Economy, from shipping to aquaculture, emphasizing smart data use. One key challenge is ensuring high-quality, standardized marine data amidst sparse and siloed datasets.

Decarbonizing Shipping: Innovations for a Sustainable Maritime Future

This session explores decarbonizing maritime transport through alternative fuels, wind-assisted propulsion, and smart technologies. It emphasizes the need for economically viable solutions—balancing high upfront costs with long-term savings—to ensure scalability, especially as the industry faces a $200 billion market opportunity for low-carbon solutions by 2030. A key challenge is aligning diverse regulatory frameworks while maintaining cost-competitiveness.

Powering the Future: Innovating Energy & Carbon

This session focuses on renewable blue energy and ocean-based carbon reduction, examining technologies, best practices, and policies that must be economically viable to drive adoption. It highlights the potential for offshore wind to cut energy costs by 30% and tap into a $50 billion carbon credit market, while addressing the challenge of integrating renewables into grids amidst regulatory inconsistencies and high initial investment costs.

Blue Food: Sustainable Innovation in aquaculture & biotechnology

As the world demand for protein is growing at an exponential rate – sustainable seafood production and marine biotechnology are becoming more essential than ever. A session integrating aquaculture and biotechnological innovation.
