Who Should Attend
This programme is designed for decisionmakers within the extended value chain of the maritime industry (e.g. shipowners, ship managers, classification societies, manning agents, charterers, port authorities, regulators, Oil&Gas, Consultants, logistics & supply chain etc.) who are responsible for the future business growth strategy.
The Programme’s focus is to assist the participant with not only an understanding of the strategic implications of blockchain technology, but also to give the participant a personal “starter kit” in implementing digital transformation within their organisations.
The Programme will be beneficial for:
• Members of the maritime industry who have little or no knowledge of BC and are looking to learn about BC and DT to apply in their businesses
• Members of the maritime industry who have a sketchy understanding of BC and would like to learn specifically about how BC technology works and in general about the DT strategy formulation
• Non-maritime industry leaders who are looking to collaborate with the maritime industry for innovation initiatives
This Programme is also suitable for those who are within the corporate innovation or venturing divisions and associated with the maritime industry or those experienced maritime professionals considering entrepreneurship.
The Programme assumes that the participant has little or no knowledge of the topic and uses simple language to explain the technical jargon. This is a non-technical Programme and ideal for those with little or no technology background.
