The Triana Group announces completion of a proprietary study on maritime technologies. The proprietary report is based on substantial qualitative and quantitative data analysis, in-depth expert interviews, a two-day workshop with multiple maritime technology stakeholders, field visits, and a questionnaire survey of innovative maritime technology companies.
The result is an insightful review of innovation trends, user needs and collaboration opportunities, licensing interest, as well as specific operational recommendations for technology companies and R&D organizations involved in this sector or interested in spotting innovative technologies ready to transition to commercial use in their markets.
