The Shortsea Business Hub is a new initiative by Shortsea Promotion Centre in partnership with Nor-Shipping.
Start with the customer experience and work backward towards the product. If you reverse the need statement from the product, it’s too easy to lose touch with reality.
Starting with the customer experience is what the business hub is all about. We examine shortsea from the perspective of companies that have experience using shortsea and get their angle on what creates a good customer experience.
We encourage you to reach out to our keynote speakers to exchange information and establish new relations in the Speakers Corner as we move into the networking section.
