Hafnia, Microsoft, Wilhelmsen, IMC Ventures and DNV launched a new digital venture studio, “Studio 30 50”, led by Shanker Pillai.
The studio’s objective is to identify new solutions which can address a broad range of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics concerning the maritime industry, while also funding innovative proposals which seek to improve efficiencies across the whole maritime supply chain.
Studio 30 50 aims to solve both near-term and long-term goals around building a sustainable and agile maritime industry of the future. In fact, this is a vision shared by all partners, and the studio aims to attract a new type of talent to the maritime sector in the form of individual founders and early-stage start-ups.
According to Hafnia, unlike traditional venture studios, Studio 30 50’s strength is derived from its partnership and collaboration model. Specifically, it has been incorporated by partners who believe in the power of innovation and entrepreneurship and are committed to provide the space to test, validate and scale eligible concepts within their own organizations and their wider ecosystems.
