Collaborating in the maritime sector
The Innovation Council (IC) focuses on sector-wide collaboration and knowledge sharing in the field of innovation. We are drivers of the latest technological developments, paving the way for a cleaner and safer maritime future.
The Innovation Council connects innovation experts from the broad maritime sector and plays an important role in setting up public-private partnership projects. A prominent example of this is the Maritime Master Plan as an accelerator of the maritime energy transition.
Within the Innovation Council, companies, sector organizations, knowledge institutes and the government work closely together on the implementation of the Dutch maritime innovation agenda. We also provide input during the preparation of research and innovation programs, and we explore opportunities in an EU context, for example via Horizon Europe. Information about new funds and regulations is thus made available to our members at an early stage, so that they can respond to them early on.
