Norway s Deputy Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Mrs. Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde said: «Norway is a world leader working with digital solutions, and we have a lot to gain from digitalization, an important tool in making sustainable use of ocean-based resources. The industry must be part of the effort to develop new technologies, part of the solution to the global challenges we are facing, and we have to make solutions available on the global market. Green solutions are simply good business. The energy and maritime sectors continue to be the engine for green and blue growth, and digitalization is one of the many tools to accomplish exactly that». Cross discipline collaboration, data sharing and access, are the challenges going forward for better use of the global ocean. Green solutions are probably one of the most important way to improve the oil and gas business, in all phases of the value chain in Brazil and Norway. The future of our ocean economy is also about culture and about our ability to change using greener solutions. Digitalization will make the oil and gas industry future fit for a better society. The ocean data as a resource needs to be managed in a responsible way, with a purpose. In a fast pace era, where all of us are in a state of constant transformation, the digitalization is an important tool to share and to strength the knowledge and business, for the industry and for the environment. Collaborative innovation in the Norwegian and Brazilian Oil & Gas Industry shall create a stronger and greener new ocean economy. :
