Invest in Vestland is showcasing green maritime opportunities at industry event

The conference, scheduled for October 14.th – 16.th will focus on cutting-edge technologies shaping the maritime industry’s green transition, including hybrid propulsion, fully electric systems, and hydrogen fuel cells. With stricter environmental regulations and global climate targets driving innovation, this event will serve as a key platform for exploring solutions to decarbonize shipping.

A testbed for green innovation

As the investment promotion agency in Vestland, we will use the opportunity to showcase Western Norway’s strong maritime cluster, its pioneering role in green shipping projects, and the unique advantages the region offers to international investors and companies.

- Vestland has become a global hub for sustainable maritime innovation and a testbed for green shipping innovation. By speaking at conference, we aim to connect with stakeholders who share our vision for a cleaner, greener future for shipping, says Tone Hartvedt from Invest in Vestland.

The event will feature expert presentations, panel discussions, and a large exhibition area, offering networking opportunities with shipowners, technology providers, policymakers, and investors. Some of the crucial topics to be addressed over the three days include steps for adopting dual-fuel, hybrid, electric, and fuel cell propulsion, insights from real-world opportunities and case studies, and strategies to cut emissions, boost fuel efficiency, and optimise operations.
