“The ambitious goals we have for our North Sea can only be realised thanks to our country's strong, innovative maritime sector. With companies that are global pioneers in their respective fields. Companies that understand the importance of innovation and invest in cooperation. That is what the government must facilitate: create a level playing field that allows the market to innovate and stimulates growth. It is important to have a physical location where these kinds of companies can come together. When it comes to maritime innovation, MCA LABS as a physical and MCA Community as a substantive meeting place, is certainly the right concept to achieve this."
“It is much easier to build an active community if you have a fixed place where people can meet. The most interesting things happen when you meet by chance.”
MCA LABS is an initiative of MCA that aims to bring together interested parties within (and outside of) the maritime industry and make them think about innovation and sustainability. MCA connects business, technology and knowledge to strengthen and develop the maritime sector. MCA LABS is the clubhouse where the MCA Community comes together and works together. The MCA Community joins forces between various actors in the broad maritime sector on a European level.
