Further Ventures would like to invite you to the unfiltered, unscripted, symposium-style conversation around maritime tech, AI, and investment the industry has been asking for.
Meet the Maritime Tech & Investment Landscape will take place on May 29th at the Hellenic American Union from 15:00–18:00, in partnership with Panathēnea, the Hellenic Tech Network, and the Association of Banking and Financial Executives of Hellenic Shipping, under the auspices of the Hellenic Chamber of Shipping, at the opening of Posidonia weekend.
Maritime companies are making AI and digital technology decisions right now, and most of the people accountable for those decisions do not yet have the fluency to evaluate what they are buying, govern the risk it creates, or lead their teams through it.
This will be the first public expression of Further Ventures, a new think tank-style initiative Emma Collier is building together with George Xiradakis, Mike Konstantinidis, Christiana Aristidou, and Dimitris Orfanos, designed to give maritime leadership a place to think through AI implementation, risk management, operational accountability, and long-term strategy before those decisions harden into systems and workflows.
The conversation will begin with an investor fireside chat followed by a dynamic panel discussion. The format is intentionally symposium-style, built around active audience participation and candid dialogue between attendees and panelists.
The five core themes the panel will explore are:
• Maritime Data Possibility
• AI as a Strategic Hire
• Investing Into Maritime
• Geopolitics, Geoeconomics & AI
• The Human Element Evolves
A deliberate departure from the pay-to-play model, built to separate signal from noise rather than add to it.
