by the Norwegian and the Finnish Shipowners’ Associations and the Embassy of Finland in Norway .
Norwegian and Finnish shipowners and authorities have set ambitious goals for a green shipping industry for the future. If we are to succeed in curbing the effects of climate change, we need to act quickly. Decarbonization and digitalization will be key drivers in this transition. Developing new and profitable green technology for the maritime sector will cut emissions, create new business opportunities and new green jobs. At this event, we will have a closer look at new and ongoing projects, best practices, how to strengthen the collaboration across country borders and between the industry and national authorities.
