The Green Transition Lab (GT Lab) is an open innovation hub established by Åbo Akademi University and Meyer Turku to connect academia and the maritime industry. It serves as a collaboration platform for the research and development of sustainable industrial solutions, with a focus on net zero shipbuilding and maritime operations.

This is the third GT Lab lecture series we are hosting: the other two took place in spring 2025 and autumn 2024.

We look forward to your participation!
