The SMN Vision

Following the very successful launch of the Smart Maritime Network in Athens and Tokyo – with over 150 delegates at each event - this third SMN conference in Copenhagen will provide a platform to promote the benefits of enhanced integration and data sharing among stakeholders within the maritime and transport logistics sectors; informing and educating on technological developments and innovations, while providing wider opportunities for relationship building, business development and knowledge sharing.
