Following the successful inaugural NTU Singapore–Europe Dialogue on Digital Trust & Safe AI in November 2024, we are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the Dialogue, which will be held in Singapore from 12–13 January 2026.
The Dialogue, titled Green Singapore Europe Advancement for a Sustainable Maritime Future (GreenSEA), is organised in collaboration with the Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI). It will convene global leaders from academia, industry, and government to address the twin transitions of decarbonisation and digitalisation in the maritime sector. With strong participation from European partners, the Dialogue will serve as a strategic platform to advance Singapore–Europe collaboration in green shipping corridors, alternative fuels, smart port technologies, and evolving regulatory frameworks that bring both challenges and opportunities.
