Organised by the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the Singapore Maritime Week (SMW) is an annual flagship event that brings together global maritime leaders, and industry enthusiasts from around the world to discuss key issues, latest trends and opportunities facing the industry today and tomorrow.
At SMW, The PIER71™ Smart Port Challenge is an annual innovation competition organised by PIER71™ to find the best breakthrough solutions from tech start-ups that will drive digital transformation and address key challenges faced by the maritime industry. Matthew Gan spoke to Dr Jehan Kanga, founder of the only non-Singaporean start-up among the winners of last year’s PIER71™ Smart Port Challenge, where it claimed the third prize.
