Ecodesign for the maritime future

Designing sustainable ships, systems and living at sea

The maritime sector faces growing pressure to decarbonize, reduce environmental impact, and enhance crew welfare. Ecodesign integrates sustainability at every stage, from shipbuilding to operations. This session presents modular and circular ship design, sustainable materials, AI and digital twin applications, retrofits, and solutions for improving crew living conditions. Pitches highlight innovations for new-build vessels, retrofitting, supply chain optimization, and lifecycle sustainability.

The pitch session is part of the Sustainable Solutions Match (SSM) 2026 organised by the Enterprise Europe Network.
