Brazil at Nor- shipping "Partnership for a sustainable future"

The world is changing rapidly – and so is the maritime industry. In a world of geopolitical tension and growing uncertainty, how can we prepare our businesses for the future? What kinds of risks should we prioritize? What markets should we focus on? What emerging technologies will prevail? How do we remain profitable and resilient? And what kinds of skills must seafarers of the future have?

Brazil@Nor-Shipping 2025 – Day 2 will gather leaders from industry, government, and regulatory agencies from both Brazil and Norway to explore these questions. The session will showcase concrete actions that are being taken today to shape a sustainable, future-proof maritime industry.
