Developments in maritime autonomy are accelerating. Systems that once operated separately, subsea sensors, autonomous and crewed vessels, drones in coastal airspace and satellite-based monitoring, are becoming increasingly interconnected. This emerging, layered environment requires smart coordination between technology, policy and operations to keep Europeโs maritime infrastructure secure, resilient and future-ready.
This edition brings together organisations from government, industry and research to explore how the Netherlands can strengthen its approach to this cross-domain field. The growing collaboration between DronePort Rotterdam and Campus@Sea connects port and coastal environments as real-life testing grounds where new concepts can be developed and refined, validated and scaled.
The programme will cover:ย
- Policy developments shaping autonomous and digitally supported maritime operations
- Connectivity across layers: from seabed systems to vessels, drones and satellites
- Technological progress in sensing, AI, robotics and operational safety
- Opportunities for cooperation across regions and sectors โ from coast to port to offshore
Youโre warmly invited to join us for an afternoon of insights, practical examples and constructive dialogue, followed by networking with a view over the North Sea.
