Episode 36. Maurizio Pilu, Founder and Managing Director, Safetytech Accelerator

Welcome to The Last Dinosaur, a podcast about the latest trends and technologies in the maritime industry. In this episode, we are joined by Maurizio Pilu, Founder and Managing Director of Safetytech Accelerator, a non-profit organization established by Lloyd’s Register to focus on safety and risk in industrial sectors. During our conversation with Maurizio, we discuss the genesis of the accelerator focusing on safety and risk, and how it was established to address needs such as the lack of structure and innovation in safety and risk in the maritime industry. We also delve into the three main barriers to entry in this space: status quo, digital skills, and cost. Maurizio also shares insights on how the maritime industry can attract the right talent to the safety and risk space and what it can do to signal that this sector is an attractive option, particularly when compared to other sectors.
