New concept, Same success!

Conoship New Year’s Reception 2018: New concept, Same success!

Last Friday (January, 12th) the annual Conoship New Year’s Reception took place at MartiniPlaza in Groningen. A new concept of pitches of young start-up companies was with a high turnout of 200 till 250 people a great success!

After the New Year’s speeches of mr. Geert Dokter (managing director of Conoship International) and mr. Bas Ort (chairman of NMT) five start-up companies showed their potential in a 5 minute pitch to present their current ideas and reality about what could be the future of maritime related companies. At the end of this news release you will find a brief desciption of the companies.

For Conoship the reception was a great success, positive comments during and after the reception. Therefore we would like to thank the Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT) for their cooperation in realising this success.
Futhermore, we would like to wish everybody who was not present at the reception also a prosperous 2018! And keep in mind the quote “We all need our strong competitors the keep us as the Dutch maritime cluster ahead of the rest of the world.”
