Since interactions between those who work ashore in the maritime industry remain limited to virtual communications and with events postponed until later this year or even early 2021, Swedish clean technology innovators Lean Marine Sweden AB, I-Tech AB and PowerCell Sweden AB are joining forces to discuss and debate current market trends and what the role clean technology will play post pandemic.

The Swedish clean tech trio will focus on propulsion optimization, digitalization, antifouling coatings and marine fuel cells. An interactive Q&A session will also be held for audience participation.

This live, 75-minute webinar will be broadcast on May 13 at 09.30-10.45 EDT / 14.30-15.45 BST / 15.30-16.45 CEST
