Elena Matzaridou is a technology advisor to shipping companies, an executive at Combuss Business Consultants, and Vice-Chair of World Sailing’s International Regulations Commission. Today, 29 September, she is taking part in the 12th ShipIT Conference at the Eugenides Foundation.
“This conference brings together maritime technology professionals to discuss issues facing the industry, as artificial intelligence and new technologies have become an integral part of seafarers’ lives and the shipping sector. We need to assess the industry’s core needs with sound judgment and a sense of responsibility so that we can make the best decisions for the future.
Our seafarers, both new and experienced, are best placed to drive change and advances in maritime technology. Through their knowledge, experience, love for their profession, and seamanship, they and others working in the sector help ensure a smooth transition as shipping’s technological and digital landscape evolves,” Matzaridou emphasizes.
