Seabased CEO Laurent Albert was invited to join a prestigious group of presenters Oct. 15 to speak at a forum on the marine economy moderated by WU Chen, Chief Editor of The Economist Global Business Review, People’s Republic of China. The theme of the forum was building a stronger blue economy post Covid-19 and “Betting on the marine energy as the wave of the future: The technological innovations which will deliver.” Albert spoke on how the combination of the power of wave energy and offshore wind has the potential to be a real game-changer in the domain of marine renewable energy because it increases the amount of renewables that can provide a baseload of energy for the grid, while sharing many of the costs. Other speakers included Peng Wei, Deputy Director, National Marine Technology Center, Ministry of Natural Resources; Henry Jeffrey, Chairman Ocean Energy Systems (OES); Phillip Sinn, Founder & CEO of Germany’s Sinn Power, and Chen Daoyi, Director of Marine Technology Center, Tsinghua University. The October 15 forum was organized by Shenzhen SEZ Construction and Development Group Co., Ltd.
