Young Entrepreneur Award
Nor-Shipping has revealed the shortlist for its Young Entrepreneur Award, with four organisations across a diverse range of maritime and ocean industry activities competing for the prestigious accolade.
The four individuals, teams and organisations reflect Nor-Shipping’s revised remit of unlocking new commercial opportunities for maritime and business players within the ocean space. They represent the increasingly important segment of aquaculture (through Karoline Sjødal Olsen, CEO of Blue Lice), marine environmental clean-up (with Inty Grønneberg, CEO of Ichthion), bunkering and clean energy (the Connect LNG team of Magnus Eikens, Morten A. Christophersen, David M. Knutsen, Miriam E. Wennberg, and Stian T. Magnusson), and green tourism (in the form of Brim Explorer executives Agnes Árnadóttir and Espen Larsen-Hakkebo).
“These companies and individuals encapsulate the ambition, fresh-thinking and technological innovation we’re looking for in the next generation of maritime and ocean industry leaders,” said Nor-Shipping Director Per Martin Tanggaard.
The winner, who must be under 40, will be crowned at Nor-Shipping 2019’s Opening Ceremony in Oslo Town Hall on 3 June.
