01 — About
The synergy of the sea,
ideas and industry
Industrial Ocean Race brings digital transformation executives and industrial business leaders together as racing yacht crews. Conversations focus on how digital solutions deliver business value, from production automation to data-driven management. Racing on the open sea builds connections faster than a conference room ever could.
02
Business Connections
Share first-hand experience: which solutions paid off in production, how to scale them and who to build them with. A week on the same crew lets people get to know each other better than a year of business meetings.
03
Professional Sailing
A yacht is a complex system: precise tuning, wind data and a coordinated crew. Professional skippers, race officials and fair competition in the Caribbean, Atlantic and Mediterranean. The format welcomes beginners and experienced sailors alike.
03 — The Experience
What Participation Includes
Privacy
A small group and a relaxed atmosphere. We respect the privacy of every participant.
Your Community
IT executives and business leaders from industrial companies: the people shaping the digital future of their enterprises.
Everything Taken Care Of
Flights, accommodation, equipment, skippers and the business programme: we arrange it all. You can focus on memorable experiences, connecting and finding new ideas for your business.
Modern Yachts
Racer-cruiser yachts of the same class, led by skippers with international regatta experience.
04 — After the Race
An Evening Ashore
After the race, crews gather ashore for dinner, a race debrief and lively conversations about their projects. Friendships, partnerships and shared ideas formed here can last for years.
Behind every idea are people.
