Please note: this event and its registration form are in Finnish.
The afternoon coffee webinar on navigation marks for the maritime cluster will feature, among other things, the results of a survey conducted at the end of 2024 in connection with the Merimerkit project’s analysis of the current state of the maritime industry. What significance have the survey and its results had? How have the results been utilised, for example, in the implementation and planning of the Merimerkit project’s measures?
The presentations will also cover operating models related to innovation in the maritime industry, key figures for the Finnish maritime cluster, and how Merimerkit promotes national and international partnerships.
A survey on the current state of the maritime industry will be conducted several times during the project. The next survey will be conducted in October–November 2025 after the webinar. During the webinar, you will have the opportunity to highlight any issues you would like to see addressed in the second survey. So join us online, share your views, and make a difference!
