When digitizing large traditional corporations a new kind of resourcefulness is needed to connect multiple moving parts and processes. Businesses accelerate at the intersection of new ideas, business models and technologies. These new digital capabilities revolve around innovation which enables corporations to operate more sustainably, and to adapt quicker to the evolving market conditions and user expectations.
However, a less known fact is that digital transformation opens possibilities of further platformization of such internally built digital products which create ecosystems for global disruption within the industries they serve.
As an exclusive member of THINGS, the most prominent innovation hub and tech community in the Nordics, HTEC will have the pleasure to present these exciting new opportunities based on the real life success achieved with our partners Stena Bulk and OrbitMI Inc.
OrbitMI Inc. is a software company based in New York City with offices in Sweden, Norway, Greece, and Serbia, and partners across the world. Their mission is to unlock the hidden value in data and connect the maritime industry players to help the entire sector become more efficient and sustainable.
Agenda:
- Magnus Melander, Co-founder THINGS: Introductory note
- Erik Hånell CEO & President Stena Bulk: How Stena Bulk digitized their vessel management operations and then externalized the innovative solution into a data driven spin-out.
- Ali Riaz, CEO OrbitMI: Taking the spin-out successfully to market.
- Darko Todorovic, Director of Engineering HTEC Group: The mechanics, strategy, technology and innovation that transformed Stena Bulk’s operations into a beautiful Orbit platform.
