It is expected to have significant impact across products, markets, business models and value chains, but also on infrastructure, which maritime in essence is the backbone of. Digital technology, data, new platforms and, not least, new market actors will drive a major part of this development. To stay ahead of the curve, it is natural that the Blue Denmark are front runners in the exploration of the systemic change and the consequences for shipping, and equally important, the commercial opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the objective for the partners behind this proposal is to explore CE in combination with data and digitization as a business development space for maritime stakeholders; to create awareness and appreciation of the potential that CE constitutes for the maritime industry; and to explore the collaboration and pathways it will take to realize the identified potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1 icon_atright\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"
