Latest podcast focuses on start-ups' ideas for industry

A podcast by the Maritime Cluster Norddeutschland (MCN) is now reporting on digitalization, decarbonization, sustainability and the latest developments in shipping. "We present our members’ innovations and projects and give insight through MCN Radar," said Jessica Wegener, Managing Director of MCN. The second episode of the podcast focuses on innovative start-ups in shipping.

Start-ups may trigger rethink

Marvin Müller, who hosts the podcast, discusses how small companies could revamp shipping with their sustainable and creative solutions and how these approaches and ideas succeed. Emphasis will be on change needed in traditional companies to remain viable. The interviewees include Arne Kraft (Marinom), Carsten Bullemer (Trusteddocks, Navisense) and Lucius Bunk (Auerbach Schifffahrt). The podcast is available on popular streaming platforms and the MCN website.
