STM Conference 2021 – (re)watch!
What caught the eye of almost 300 people from 43 countries on all continents but Antarctica? The STM Conference 2021! It showed concrete results from several projects, revealed how far the work on standardization has come and discussed the importance of information sharing as an enabler for GHG-reducing just-in-time arrivals. The ecosystem provider, the non-profit consortium Navelink, also shared the offer to join one year for free, as long as you “bring something to the table”. Currently there are about 100 operational services in the ecosystem.
The main conclusion of the conference was that the standards, the ecosystem and the services are reliable and that the solutions built on this foundation are stable and trustworthy.
