ITS Norway og Ocean Industry Forum Oslofjord har gleden av å invitere til et seminar om autonomi og digitalisering i maritime intelligente transportsystemer.

Vi får presentasjoner fra lokale caser som baner vei for digitale, fjernstyrte og autonome maritime tjenester. Videre får vi siste nytt fra regelverksutviklingen og hvordan Norge posisjonerer seg i det internasjonale standardiseringsarbeidet for maritime intelligente transportsystemer – eller Maritim ITS som vi kaller det!

Sammen vil vi diskutere veien videre: Hvordan kan myndigheter og industri samarbeide bedre? Hvilke forretningsmuligheter skapes ved å tenke nytt? Hvordan kan vi akselerere den digitale transformasjonen, både i Norge og globalt – med norsk teknologi som pådriver?

• 09:00 – Velkommen ved ITS Norway og Ocean Industry Forum
