MarTe 1st Technical Workshop: From Physical Modelling to Market-Ready Solutions

Dates: 4–5 February 2026
Format: Hybrid
On-site: Ventspils University of Applied Sciences (Ventspils Augstskola),
Inženieru Street 101A, Ventspils, Latvia
Online: Zoom (with live YouTube translation)
Language: English

On 4–5 February 2026, the MarTe project will host its first Technical Workshop focusing on physical modelling and simulation tools that support innovation in the blue and green economy.

The workshop demonstrates how deep-tech tools such as SolidWorks and COMSOL help transform early-stage ideas into real-world solutions. Through lectures, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities, participants will learn how modelling and simulation reduce development risks, shorten design cycles, and support the transition from laboratory concepts to market-ready technologies.

The workshop will highlight practical applications in marine and maritime technologies, renewable energy, hydrogen (H₂-to-X) solutions, and sustainable blue economy value chains, with examples relevant to the Baltic Sea region and beyond.

Programme Highlights:

• Introduction to physical process modelling, CAD-based modelling with SolidWorks and Multiphysics simulations with COMSOL
• Live demonstrations and hands-on exercises designed for participants with prior experience or professional interest in 3D modelling
• Success stories in deep-tech development from Research to Market
• Pathways from low TRL to market (TRL 6–7+)

Who should attend?

The workshop is open to:

• Industry representatives in marine, maritime, and green technologies
• Researchers and engineers working on applied R&I
• Startups and entrepreneurs in deep-tech and blue economy sectors
• Experienced engineers and innovators interested in advanced modelling tools

Participants will gain practical skills, insights into real success stories, and opportunities to connect with the MarTe  innovation ecosystem.

What participants will gain

• Practical skills in advanced simulation and modelling approaches
• Knowledge exchange with experts from academia and industry
• A clearer understanding of how to move ideas from lab to market
• Opportunities to build collaborations in the Baltic Sea blue economy
