In cooperation with Sparebanken Vest, Maritime CleanTech has established the “Cluster Partner of the Year” award. The award winner will be one of our cluster partners who has excelled in the green shift at sea and participating actively in the cluster collaboration.

– The 2030 dedline is fast approaching and finding solutions that can reduce the carbon footprint of the maritime industry is getting urgent. Collaboration between cluster members is the key to speeding up technology development and securing competitiveness for the maritime industry. That’s why we call it CollaborACTION, says Interim CEO in Maritime CleanTech, Håvard Tvedte.

The prize goes to a cluster company that stands out in the use and innovation of greener technologies and that actively seeks collaboration through cluster activities. The winner receives a prize award of NOK 100,000 (approx. EUR 10,000). Financed by Sparebanken Vest.
