Nor-Shipping and YoungShip are launching the Young Entrepreneur Award; open to nominees from all areas of shipping, one professional under the age of 40 will be recognised for founding a successful business.

The winner will receive the award at the Nor-Shipping conference, and will be able to exhibit at the Nor-Shipping Innovation & Venture theme park, alongside gaining advice from a venture company.

Nominees should be seen to demonstrate excellence in creating solutions for industry challenges, offering innovative solutions, taking on the industry and being able to adapt to rapid global changes, creating logistical solutions to make the industry more efficient, and creating jobs within the maritime sector.

If you know somebody who is a successful entrepreneur who ticks all these boxes, or are an entrepreneur yourself who qualifies for this award, send a submission (including contact details, reasons for nominations and any supporting materials) to [email protected].
