Background
Ocean Hyway Cluster and Maritime CleanTech are partnering with Innovation Norway to enhance green maritime collaboration between Norway and Singapore.
The initiative, part of Innovation Norway’s High Potential Opportunities(HPO) program, aims to position Norwegian suppliers at the forefront of the Southeast Asian maritime market. The program is designed to help Norwegian companies become preferred partners and suppliers in key international projects.
Ocean Hyway Cluster and Maritime CleanTech bring extensive experience and expertise to the partnership. As Norway’s leading business hubs for developing and commercializing low-and zero-emission solutions for shipping, their partners have realized the world’s first all-electric and hydrogen vessels. They continue to lead the way in developing new green energy systems and value chains for hydrogen and ammonia use in the maritime industry.
