Calling for AI/tech partners: Opportunities in the time of Corona!

Together with Cathrine Fosse & the boards, I utilized the financial crisis 2009 onwards to build the new concepts for YoungShip Oslo & Norway to serve and fill needs in the shipping community. That built the fundament for new growth, later leading to establishing a global movement currently spanning across 28 cities world-wide.

Together with Per Martin Tanggaard & the team, I set the Disruptive Sustainability agenda from 2014, and embedding the entire Nor-Shipping strategy on the UN SDGs as the first Norwegian organisation to do so, during the offshore crisis, focusing on ocean, tech/startup and cargo owners. This strategic direction is kept, improved and refined by the current team.

You should never waste the opportunities of finding ways to contribute to new needs, amidst a serious crisis.

We will utilize this period to work on both the franchise model of TOOL (international expansion), global strategic partnerships, infrastructure, and the digital part of our project, which we didn't yet have the capacity to prioritize.

Thanks to a solid financial buffer, we have a secure buffer for covering fixed operational costs for a year (even when calculating worse-case scenario of zero income for 12mths), with Charlotte Lunga and Endre Thesen Harnes as key crew.

The Ocean Opportunity Lab currently has 100+ collaborative partners across 15 countries, 5 months after pre-launch.

Now we're looking for tech partners who share our base values and pay it forward fundament. We are looking for potential partner companies within AI and community platform, who are interested in a strategic longterm partnership, and potentially a JV structure.

DM me for more details. 

Any crisis represent an opportunity, if we acknowledge the value of being thrown out of our comfort zone and think creatively <3

Warm hugs & wishing everyone the very best during this time that puts us all to the test
