Waypoint is Safetytech Accelerator’s open innovation initiative to accelerate the entry of leading technology companies into the maritime sector. It is a not-for-profit organisation created by Lloyd’s Register and the Lloyd’s Register Foundation, and is the first technology accelerator entirely dedicated to safety and risk in industrial sectors, whose mission is to make the world safer and more sustainable through the wider adoption of safety technology.
The 12-week programme is focused on the most innovative and promising maritime startups to strengthen their position in the maritime sector, through expert mentoring services, promotion in the maritime market, services to refine the value proposition and access to proof-of-concept or pilot funding along with the support needed to develop them.
Currently, it is possible to submit interest in the 5th edition of the program, entitled “AI for Maritime”, through the following link. This time, they put the focus on artificial intelligence, launching questions such as: what kind of AI-based solutions would you be interested in trying; what challenges do you think AI can help overcome in the maritime sector; where are the biggest opportunities for AI to make a difference?
