Deep Dive Into Ocean Tech

The OT-CON 2024 predecessor of Be-CON, under the theme of "DEEP DIVE INTO OCEAN-TECH."

It has led to diverse discussions and exchanges across policies, technologies, and industries. OT-CON demonstrated the need for a more structured and sustainable cooperation platform beyond one-off events for networking between industries.

Based on the insights and discourse accumulated in OT-CON, Be-CON evolves into more structured programs and extended agendas.
