An increased infrastructure in Swedish seas raises new questions about vulnerability, competition for areas, and environmental risks. Innovative marine solutions for energy and food are threatened by geopolitical conflicts.

This high-level session will explore what the maritime infrastructure of the future will look like under a changed security situation.
