The Singapore Maritime Foundation has launched the 6th MaritimeONE Case Summit, challenging tertiary students to devise tech-driven solutions for the maritime sector. The summit, supported by ARROW Asia, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, NorthStandard, and Ocean Network Express, encourages students from Singapore’s universities and polytechnics to address real-world challenges in maritime, business, technology, and sustainability.
Participants will form teams of two to four and choose from four challenge statements, each focusing on different aspects of the maritime industry’s digital and green transformation. These include strategies for a future-ready workforce, tech-driven market intelligence solutions, and applications for the Maritime Digital Twin—a virtual model of the port.
The competition offers students industry exposure, mentorship, and the chance to win cash prizes. Finalists will present their solutions at the Grand Finals on 14 November 2025. Hor Weng Yew, Chairman of the Singapore Maritime Foundation, highlighted the summit’s role in nurturing maritime talent, stating, “The MaritimeONE Case Summit is a key platform for Singapore’s tertiary youths to apply critical thinking, creativity, and cross-disciplinary insights.”
Philipp Schulte-Westhof, Managing Director of ARROW Asia, emphasised the importance of nurturing young talent, whilst Ang Wee Keong, Chief Executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, expressed anticipation for innovative solutions using the Maritime Digital Twin. David Roberts of NorthStandard and Jeremy Nixon of Ocean Network Express also underscored the summit’s significance in addressing industry challenges and inspiring future maritime professionals.
