Green Navigation returns to The PIER in Halifax

Hello dear readers,

I hope spring is bringing you new ideas and energy. I’m writing to share a quick update from Halifax, Canada, where I had the pleasure of returning to The PIER, one of the world’s most vibrant innovation hubs in maritime logistics.

This visit was part of the PINsight event, co-hosted by The PIER and Opentop, the port innovation accelerator at the Port of Valencia, where Green Navigation is currently enrolled. The event brought together members of the Port Innovators Network (PIN), a global consortium of forward-looking ports and innovation centers. The goal? To connect, share, and strengthen our collective ability to innovate in the maritime domain.

At the session, I had the opportunity to speak about Green Navigation, our platform that acts like a Google Maps for the sea. By integrating marine weather forecasts and oceanographic data, we help shipping companies choose safer, greener, and more efficient routes. I gave a talk titled “How data is optimizing shipping”, where I presented how real-time environmental data and AI-powered algorithms are helping us reduce emissions, fuel use, and voyage risks—without needing any retrofitting.

This was Green Navigation’s second visit to The PIER, a special place where innovation and impact go hand in hand. If you’d like to revisit our first experience here, you can check out this earlier post: First visit to The PIER.

All the best,
