Themed “Driving the Maritime Transition”, SMM 2024 will both focus on the maritime energy transition and digital transformation. As artificial intelligence (AI) is regarded as a main driver of digitalisation in the industry in general, SMM 2024 will put the AI topic centre stage.

The AI Center in Hall B6 will be entirely dedicated to advanced AI technologies and potential applications in the maritime industry. “Early adopters of AI will benefit from competitive advantages,” said Ragnar Kruse, co-founder and CEO of AI.HAMBURG and initiator of the AI Center. “Many start-ups are now integrating AI technologies in software products that any company can afford. They will be featured at the AI Center at SMM.”

The leading international maritime trade fair will be a great opportunity for industry visitors to get comprehensive information about current developments and join the highly dynamic AI community. “Our AI Center at SMM 2024 sets a new standard,” said Claus Ulrich Selbach, Business Unit Director – Maritime and Technology Fairs & Exhibitions at Hamburg Messe und Congress.

The “AI for the Oceans Awards” will be another highlight at the trade fair: “This is where SMM, in cooperation with Deutsche Meeresstiftung, Forum Oceano and AI.HAMBURG, will honour start-ups that use AI to protect the oceans,” said Selbach. The jury consists of 14 distinguished members, including personalities such as Charles Goddard, Editorial Director of the Economist, and aquanaut Fabian Cousteau, grandson of the legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau.

Award winners will receive a EUR 10,000 prize, a campaign on LinkedIn and a presentation to an expert audience at SMM in Hamburg.

Schiff&Hafen | Ship&Offshore is the exclusive media partner of the SMM AI Centre, providing comprehensive coverage in the run-up to the event and participating in the awards.

Start-ups must submit their proposals by July 1st. More information at https://aicenter.ai.hamburg/en/ai-for-the-oceans-award/
