This 2nd workshop will be an important learning and networking opportunity for government stakeholders\, technology innovators\, ship operators\, compon ent suppliers\, manufacturers\, designers\, educators\, service providers and research organizations to get an update on our progress and help to se t the direction for this important initiative in the coming years. The gra nd challenges of modern ship design we will be tackling are:\n\n- Clean: D ramatically improve the efficiency of ships\, while reducing air pollution and GHG emissions from the marine industry.\n- Quiet: Greatly reduce nois e pollution caused by ships and other marine enterprises.\n- Safe: Improve safety and situational awareness in order to avoid the human\, economic a nd environmental impacts of shipboard incidents and collisions at sea.\n- Intelligent: Upgrade shipboard sensor\, information\, and decision systems in order to provide accurate and timely warnings of surface and near-surf ace threats.\n- Autonomous: Increase vessel and system autonomy to improve efficiency\, safety\, resiliency and reduce crewing requirements.\n- Tale nted: Train people who can design and innovate in the shipbuilding and ind ustrial marine sector\n\nPresentations and discussions during the event wi ll include hybrid-electric power systems\, alternative fuels\, automation & control\, wireless communications\, cybersecurity\, high-performance com puting and designing for people.\n\nThe workshop has been scheduled for th e day before the [Western Innovation Forum (WIF)](https://www.wd-deo.gc.ca /eng/19917.asp) presented by Western Economic Diversification Canada\, tog ether with the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada-Pacific and the Association of British Columbia Marine Industries.
