Maritime CleanTech and Ocean Hyway Cluster have joined forces with Innovation Norway to boost green maritime cooperation between Norway and Singapore. The partnership, initiated through Innovation Norway's High Potential Opportunities (HPO) program, aims to elevate Norwegian suppliers in the Southeast Asian maritime market. The collaboration seeks to advance low- and zero-emission solutions for the shipping industry, with a specific focus on hydrogen and ammonia technologies.
The joint efforts coincide with Singapore's ambitious Maritime Decarbonization Blueprint 2050, which sets targets for carbon reduction in the maritime sector. Key initiatives include the electrification of harbor vessels by 2030 and the transition to alternative marine fuels. This shift presents a significant opportunity for Norwegian companies specializing in electric and low-emission maritime technologies, particularly in the areas of hydrogen and ammonia.
Participating Norwegian companies benefit from tailored support under the HPO program, including market guidance, strategic positioning, project identification, partnership facilitation, funding assistance, and networking opportunities. The collaboration involves multiple stakeholders, including the Norwegian Embassy in Singapore, the Norwegian Business Association in Singapore, and Norwegian Energy Partners.
The initiative, spearheaded by Innovation Norway's Singapore office and supported by Maritime CleanTech and Ocean Hyway Cluster, aims to drive innovation and sustainable practices in the maritime industry. Through this partnership, both Norway and Singapore are poised to lead the way in green maritime technologies and pave the path for a more sustainable future in the sector.
