Danish Maritime Days Launches Future Leaders Initiative

 

A new Danish Maritime Days initiative, Future Maritime Leaders, aims to engage the next generation of maritime leaders in a conversation about where the industry may be heading at a time of great transformation. 

 

“The objective with Future Maritime Leaders is to build a truly global community of young leaders from all parts of the maritime industry who work together to come up with innovative solutions to global challenges and how the maritime industry can have a positive impact on growth, development and human wellbeing,” said Flemming R. Jacobs Secretary General of Danish Maritime Days.

 

At their first gathering in October, the Future Maritime Leaders will be tasked to come up with a shared ambition and guiding principles for the future of the global maritime industry. The outcomes of their discussions will be presented to the participants in the Danish Maritime Forum so the two communities may inspire and challenge each other’s ideas and solutions.

 

Selected by Danish Maritime Days in collaboration with industry leaders and other key stakeholders, members of the Future Maritime Leaders community come from all parts of the maritime industry. They are around 30 years old and are decision-makers already holding positions of considerable influence and responsibility.

 

“The Future Maritime Leaders represent a new generation of leaders who are ambitious not just for themselves but on behalf of the industry and demonstrate a commitment to addressing issues beyond their immediate personal and professional interests. Together, they can have a real impact on the future of the industry and contribute to unleashing the full potential of the maritime industry,” Jacobs continued.
