Maritime companies are making AI and digital technology decisions right now, and most of the people accountable for those decisions do not yet have the fluency to evaluate what they are buying, govern the risk it creates, or lead their teams through it. Maritime already has a strong first muscle — safety, compliance, operational discipline. Further Ventures, in partnership with the Hellenic Tech Network, will bring this conversation to the forefront through an investor fireside chat followed by a dynamic panel, creating unfiltered access to experts who live and breathe this work, with near-equal participation between panelists and audience so the conversation is the point, not only the networking. A deliberate departure from the pay-to-play model built to separate signal from noise rather than add to it.
The themes and the room reflect the full breadth of maritime leadership: operational, financial, geopolitical, and how the human element and our roles within our organizations will evolve alongside the technology.
