Historically, the shipyards in Norway have been hubs of maritime innovation, technology development, and creativity. However, they now face challenges in maintaining profitability and competitiveness due to rising raw material and labor costs, and the necessity to upgrade facilities to meet technological advances and customer demands. The project addresses these challenges by fostering the development of new technologies, products, and services, and by enhancing collaboration with partners and customers to ensure a profitable and sustainable future.
The future development of the main project will involve regional shipyards, cluster businesses, knowledge and interest communities, and the public sector, aiming to enhance the resilience and innovation capacity of the region's shipbuilding industry.
