Riding The Fifth Wave Of Maritime Industrial Transformation

The first four waves of maritime industrial innovation: sail to coal, to oil, to containers, and to the digital layer, each rewrote who moved the world's goods and who captured the value. The Fifth Wave is now arriving and it runs on different physics: electrification, sustainable propulsion, autonomous systems, physical AI and the industrial supply chains that make them real. Most maritime technology stalls in the gap between a working prototype and a deployed fleet. Capital arrives too early or too cautiously, pilots never reach scale, and the operators who understand the water sit furthest from the people designing its future. Our sessions will share our insights & learnings about what it takes to close that gap ------------------------------------------This New York Climate Week, join Cool Climate Collective, emrgnce & LomarLabs, as we convene investors, maritime leaders, philanthropies and ecosystem partners for a discussion on how innovative financing structures and collaborative engagements can unlock catalytic outcomes for the maritime industry (& beyond). We'll explore the bottlenecks worth solving and what it takes to move from sea trial to standard. If you care to finance the systems that will carry global trade into the new era then this is for you and you'll leave with a sharper map of the territory ahead.
