Building on outcomes from the 2022 Conclave, the event will assess progress and introduce new solutions developed over the past three years.
The event will feature focused panel discussions, addressing key themes such as establishing a green technology baseline, involving non-traditional stakeholders, derisking access to funding, and accelerating green technology adoption. These discussions will foster cross-industry collaboration, drawing insights from both Indian and international stakeholders, while also exploring the financial and technological pathways required to achieve these ambitious targets.
In addition to the panel discussions, the Conclave will host a CEO and Policy Maker Forum and initiate a debate on shaping a Consultative framework for a Comprehensive Green Shipping Policy for India. The outcomes will be crucial for tracking progress and identifying areas that require further attention.
