More than 600 delegates and 50 exhibitors met in Bergen to discuss subsea future leveraging innovation and industrialization. Also HRH Crown Prince Haakon attended the subsea technology conference. The event was opened by State Secretary Per Rune Henriksen, and key note speaker Jarand Rystad shared his views on the subsea future describing great perspectives for the subsea industry with a prediction of more than doubling of the subsea market from 39 to 80 billion dollars in 2016. Although the Norwegian petroleum production is in a decline, subsea sees substantial growth and represents great opportunities for Norwegian owned and based supplier companies with a subsea market share of almost 50% worldwide. A main challenge to accommodate this growth is however the access to people.
