At Nor-Shipping 2025, the focus is on #Future-proof — a theme that addresses innovation, sustainability, and strategic resilience in a rapidly changing global environment.
In this episode, Sidsel Norvik, Director of Nor-Shipping, joins the conversation from her cabin in Norway during Easter to discuss how the event is evolving into a broader platform for cross-sector collaboration and global maritime dialogue.
Norvik highlights the growing importance of partnerships across industries, the need for clear strategies to meet climate goals, and Nor-Shipping’s role as a bridge between politics, technology, and business. She also points to new developments such as expanded conference programs on ocean industries, deep-sea minerals, and decarbonization pathways — emphasizing that “breaking industry silos” will be key to driving systemic change.
As Nor-Shipping celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2025, Norvik stresses that staying relevant means continuous adaptation: “We cannot assume people will come. We must stay tuned to the industry’s needs and help shape the agenda.”
With Norway’s government, royal family, and international leaders involved, Nor-Shipping 2025 is positioned not just as an exhibition, but as a window into the maritime industry’s future direction.
