Each year, the map highlights the companies that are leading digital transformation, in areas including voyage optimisation, finance, procurement, maintenance, commercial and others.

90POE's OpenOcean STUDIO addresses various categories within the maritime tech landscape (including “Condition & Maintenance”, “Voyage Optimisation”, “Crew Management”, “Chartering” and “Green Tech & Decarbonisation”), earning us recognition in the "Communications & Information Management" category. A category where 90% of startups founded in the past three years are leveraging data and advanced analytics, highlighting the rapid transformation underway.
