5. Digital advancements continue to impact
how we live, behave and think, urging
businesses to change how they operate, and
adapt to a fast-changing world.

6. With computing power almost doubling
each year, global businesses are looking at
innovative new ways to operate - a process
called Industry 4.0 - taking lessons from the
start-up movement and the next generation of
digital natives.

8. Technology is making the world move at a faster
pace, connecting everything and everyone,
anywhere, at anytime. A far cry from the
traditional seafarer’s isolated existence, for the
next generation of maritime professionals, the
equipment they use, and the ships they sail,
connectivity is a necessity, not an accessory.

9.
Connecting means opening up the way we
operate, being transparent to our customers,
our people and the wider world. Collaboration
and access trumps adversarial competition and
secrecy, which poses a challenge for many
traditional shipping leaders.

12. You can’t solve problems with the same thinking
that created them. As technology only enables
solutions, we’re looking at it as a tool to answer
the big questions that the digital revolution
poses. A change in mindset leads to big
questions, which lead to the big ideas.

13. Big ideas can come from anywhere, but we
have to think big to find them... Big data, big
analytics and audacious goals have already
formed the basis for new maritime companies,
and you don’t have to be a start-up company to
profit from them.

part of the intelligent transport systems of the
future. But who are the people with a digital
vision for the shipping and maritime industry?

17. We’re asking the most innovative and cutting-
edge companies from both inside and outside
shipping, from start-ups to some of the world’s
leading brands, what we can learn about doing
business in the digital era.
