Seminar Through our initiative Strengthen the Yard, together with SINTEF Nordvest, iKuben, and MAFOSS, we are organizing a technical seminar on new, applied production technology available in the cluster.

The digital shift is in full swing – and now it is entering the Norwegian maritime industry in full force. 
How can shipyards and suppliers utilize new tools, more efficient production methods, and smarter digital processes? And what opportunities does this provide for lower costs, better quality, and faster deliveries?

We have gathered a set of relevant actors to give a practical and insightful overview of digital solutions and tools that are already being used in the industry. Here you will meet both shipyards, suppliers, and technology environments – with the aim of sharing experiences and building collaboration across sectors.

The project "Strengthen the Shipyards" aims to enhance the competitiveness of Norwegian shipyards in a rapidly evolving global shipbuilding market. The initiative will increase the level of research and development, attract new actors, competence, and talents into the shipbuilding industry, and contribute to more knowledge transfer across sectors. Through increased collaboration and interaction, the project aims to contribute to a higher innovation pace and strengthened competitiveness.

Collaboration across the maritime ecosystem is crucial for building a more robust, future-oriented, and internationally competitive industry. Read more about this HERE!
