Following a successful series of events in 2014 and 2015, we are very excited to be bringing the Maritime CIO Forum to Cyprus - one of the most influential maritime hubs for ship management services and ship owners. We are very honoured that Mr. Marios Demetriades, Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Republic of Cyprus will deliver the Closing Keynote Address, and Mr. Andreas Chrysostomou, General Director of the Department of Merchant Shipping will do an opening Welcome Address.

The global challenge facing the shipping sector is to meet the ever-increasing demands of a dynamic and fast changing world in a sustainable and responsible manner. Clearly "business as usual" will not be enough to meet these demands. Innovation in products, services and processes holds the key to achieving safe, reliable, cost efficient solutions that also achieve economic, social and environmental sustainability targets.

With an expected audience of 120-150 of the most senior maritime executives from both within Cyprus and further afield, the Maritime CIO Forums have been developed to address issues and trends that leaders in the shipping community face in an increasingly demanding environment; expected to deliver strategies capable of both driving revenue and reducing costs - all while making smart decisions about technology selection, investment and implementation. Throughout this one-day high-level forum, regional and international industry leaders will share their strategies to address the challenges presented by the new maritime landscape, and the key roles played by innovation and the drive for sustainability.

As well as a focus on technical developments, this forum will address challenges that all companies are facing at present - such as:

  • How is innovation in communications driving the future of shipping?
  • Technology for the new maritime landscape
  • Cyber security and future-proofing your IT infrastructure
  • Innovating and investing in the industrial Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Big data and analytics to drive innovation, competitiveness and growth
  • Putting information security onto the boardroom agenda
  • The Digital Age - maximising efficiencies with next generation solutions for the maritime market
  • Harnessing disruptive innovation in the maritime sector

Sessions will be led by panel discussions and interactive discussion with the audience.
