Disrupting the Maritime Industry - #VENTUREWEEKMIAMI
The maritime industry is one of the largest and most overlooked sectors in the global economy. It moves over 80% of the world’s goods, yet much of the industry still runs on legacy systems, manual workflows, and fragmented processes that haven’t meaningfully changed in decades. That gap represents a massive opportunity for builders.
Disrupting the Maritime Industry brings together maritime operators and startup founders who are actively working to modernize how the industry operates. This panel will explore where the biggest inefficiencies still exist, which problems are ripe for disruption, and what it actually takes to build and scale technology in a highly regulated, asset-heavy environment. Speakers will share firsthand insights on improving safety, compliance, operations, logistics, and data flow along with lessons learned from working directly with legacy players.
We’ll also discuss why Miami is uniquely positioned to become a global hub for maritime innovation. With its proximity to major ports, cruise lines, shipping routes, and international trade, Miami sits at the intersection of maritime operations, capital, and talent, making it an ideal launchpad for the next generation of maritime startups.
The evening will start with a short networking session, giving attendees the chance to connect with operators, founders, investors, and others interested in building, partnering, or investing in the future of the maritime industry.
Whether you’re an operator looking to modernize, a founder exploring your next venture, or simply curious about one of the world’s most critical industries, this conversation is for you.
