Presentations of the Future of the Gulf of Bothnia
Last week, over 80 participants gathered in Vaasa to join the SmartSea seminar “Future of the Gulf of Bothnia”, including government representatives, maritime businesses and researchers. The 2-days seminar was a great opportunity to present and discuss some of the SmartSea project results and combine it with relevant efforts that have been made across the Gulf of Bothnia and Baltic Sea regions as well. The event was recorded and streamed online for those who could not attend it. On the side of each presentation, click for the video.
