Will the technology developments of the future fleet define the skills needed for the workforce or will the workforce shape the future fleet? We think it’s both. The needs for the future fleet will demand a workforce with skillsets that blend traditional naval architecture principles with new digital sciences. In turn, that workforce will iterate and drive change that optimizes future fleet designs and operations.

Join us for this virtual roundtable event where we will tackle these topics and much more with some of the leading academic minds in the maritime space.
