The shipping industry is fundamental to global trade and plays a pivotal role for Europe’s economy. The industry is currently facing a range of challenges - from rapid technological developments to growing sustainability requirements and ever fiercer global competition. How can the shipping industry transform these challenges into opportunities and, likewise, how should the industry evolve to face the challenges that lay ahead whilst increasing its competitiveness? What role can the EU play in strengthening innovation and competitiveness?

Shipping is not only a critical component of global trade, it plays a crucial role in terms of national security and preparedness. Increasing geopolitical tensions and new types of threats, such as cyber and hybrid attacks and supply chain disruptions, make the shipping industry’s role within defence and civil preparedness ever more important. This seminar explores both how the shipping industry - together with national governments, navies, and NATO - can collaborate to bolster supply chain security and how global trade can best be protected during uncertain times.
