Waypoint Stars

Tackling your innovation challenges with the best start-ups and emerging technologies.

From safety to digitization, decarbonisation and performance optimisation, maritime organisations are increasingly in search of disruptive technologies solutions to address some of the most pressing challenges. But with such a large and fast-evolving technology landscape, finding, testing and adopting the right solution is not easy – it is risky and can be resource intensive.

Working closely with its Members, Waypoint Stars helps to quickly and efficiently identify and assess high-potential emerging tech solutions for their most pressing challenges.

Engaging with the programme allows Members to find cutting edge technology solutions with lower risk and cost, while also collaborating with peers facing similar challenges.
