Programme 

A: Ocean Security and Geopolitics in a Changing World
Shifting geopolitical landscapes, strategic competition, and climate‑driven pressures are reshaping security at sea. This session examines maritime safety, naval presence, international law, and the mechanisms needed to prevent conflict and maintain stability in increasingly contested waters. Our aim is to highlight how cooperation, shared intelligence, and strong governance frameworks underpin a safe and predictable ocean.
Hosts: Royal Norwegian Naval Academy, in collaboration with PwC, the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association, and the Institute of Marine Research

B: Predicting Our Blue Future
This session focuses on foresight: how science, modelling, and advanced ocean observation systems can help us understand future ocean conditions and the blue economy. Participants will explore climate and energy scenarios, real‑time ocean models, and data‑driven forecasting tools. The purpose is to illuminate how predictive capabilities can guide decision‑making, resilience planning, and sustainable ocean use.
Hosts: University of Bergen, in collaboration with DNV, the Nansen Center, NORCE, the Institute of Marine Research, and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research 

C: Clean Shipping and Ocean Innovation
This session showcases cutting‑edge solutions for zero‑emission maritime transport and ocean‑based innovation. Topics include clean maritime technologies, green fuels and infrastructure, circular models for ocean industries, and global collaboration for scaling sustainable shipping. The session emphasizes the investments, partnerships, and policies needed to accelerate the transition toward a decarbonized ocean economy. 
Hosts: Maritime CleanTech, Washington Maritime Blue (USA), Waterborne Technology Platform (EU) and Pôle Mer Méditerranée (France)
