Sponsored by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, we tie the knot - Industry 4.0 and Maritime challenges

Digital Revolution in the Maritime Sector

The maritime world is going through digital transformation, with a fast-growing number of shipping organizations, shipyards, ports and logistic centers seeking innovation and adopting emerging technologies. Driven by environmental regulations, global cyber threats, and pressure to catch up with global digitalization trends - more and more startups are entering the market, aspiring to ‘disrupt’ the industry by offering innovative solutions to market challenges.

According to a study conducted by Inmarsat, in 2018, $4.2 billion of digital spending in the maritime sector targeted startups and other innovators. This number is expected to rise to over $111 billion by 2030. These findings represent significant market opportunities for startups and investors for the next ten years.
