The event will provide a unique platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration at the forefront of maritime innovation.

The European Space Agency (ESA) will be hosting a free event highlighting the role of space technologies in advancing maritime decarbonisation at ESTEC in the Netherlands - the technical heart of ESA -  today on 19 November.

This one-day programme will present the latest developments emerging from ESA’s maritime decarbonisation call, featuring fast-pitch presentations, networking slots, and opportunities to explore future collaboration.

The agenda is structured around five key themes:

   Digitalisation
   Alternative Fuels and Propulsion Systems
   Ports
   Emissions Monitoring
   Automation

A unique platform

Participants will include ports, classification societies, authorities, shipyards, ship owners, and technology and service providers. The event will also host a short Task Force Members’ meeting to evaluate progress and identify future opportunities. The event will provide a unique platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration at the forefront of maritime innovation.

A few months after ESA's(BASS) 

A few months after ESA's Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) 'Maritime Decarbonisation’ thematic call closed, companies developing projects under each of the five sections - Digitilisation, Alternative Fuels and Propulsion Systems, Emissions Monitoring, Ports and Automation – have been pitching their projects and sharing insights and best practice at our workshop: ‘Space for Blue – Showcasing Space Applications for Maritime Decarbonisation’.

With plenty of networking opportunities, this event is an opportunity to re-connect and make new contacts, with a focus on collaboration to address the critical challenges facing our oceans.
