YoungShip Helsinki

ShipCon 2023

Power of People, The Finnish Flavour

Helsinki 21 - 22 September 2023

YoungShip Helsinki is looking forward to gathering all young maritime professionals from across the Finnish maritime cluster as well as all YoungShip International’s departments to attend a two-day conference in Helsinki.

This year, focus will be on the future-proofing the maritime sector in terms of environmental impact, leadership, design and technology. The Finnish maritime cluster is a forerunner in sustainability, developing new technologies and green innovations. 

How can we utilize Nordic knowledge to reduce emissions worldwide? How do we foster digital solutions and AI in making shipping smarter and more energy efficient? How do we encourage young people to choose a career in the maritime field and secure knowledgeable workforce in the future? These are just some of the topics that will be discussed during ShipCon 2023. Come and join the conversation! 

Please note, the conference will be in English and is open to everyone, not limited to YoungShip members.

We look forward seeing you all in Helsinki in September 2023!
