Dual-Use Opportunities

  • Identify how maritime SMEs can strengthen their position in the defense and preparedness market through greater use of dual-use solutions based on existing commercial technology.

  • Map the dual-use potential within the maritime cluster – both nationally and internationally – and identify barriers to entry, including those related to EDF applications.

  • Foster collaboration across the maritime value chain and map the processes and contact points towards defense stakeholders such as the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), government bodies, and international defense R&D organizations.

Typical topics include:


  • Artificial Intelligence and machine learning

  • Industrial data platforms and interoperability

  • Industrial Internet of Things (Iao)

  • Sensors and data acquisition

  • Digital twins and simulation

  • Decision support systems

  • Digital standards and system integration

  • Data-driven optimisation of maritime operations

By connecting research, technology developers and industry, the forum contributes to faster technology adoption, stronger collaboration and increased competitiveness for companies across the blue industries
