HALIFAX, NS — July 29 2026 — The Sustainable Blue Economy Summit (SBES) is excited to confirm that M2M Tech has joined as an Official Event Partner for the event, which will be held on September 18, 2026, at The Westin Nova Scotian in Halifax, NS.
As governments, industry leaders, investors, and innovators collaborate to drive sustainable ocean growth, the demand for practical technologies that boost efficiency and enhance decision-making has become more critical than ever.
M2M Tech brings this emphasis to the blue economy through AI-powered solutions that enable organizations to translate data into action—optimizing operations, monitoring assets, and reducing risk.
The Sustainable Blue Economy Summit is centered on a straightforward yet urgent question: how can we shift from ocean potential to tangible performance? Through discussions on investment, innovation, and partnerships, the Summit unites leaders to turn ideas into reality and build a stronger ocean economy.
As the Official Event Partner, M2M Tech backs the Summit’s mission of converting ocean potential into real-world results. By focusing on marine asset monitoring, predictive operations, energy optimization, adaptive control automation, and enterprise AI solutions, M2M Tech helps organizations increase efficiency, improve decision-making, and scale technology across the marine sector.
This aligns with the Summit’s vision of a blue economy where innovation goes beyond concepts. By merging operational expertise with advanced technology, M2M Tech is assisting ocean industries in overcoming challenges, boosting performance, and unlocking new opportunities for sustained success.
Innovation Stage Spotlight: M2M Tech
At the Sustainable Blue Economy Summit, M2M Tech will take the Innovation Stage to present DeckGuard Vision, an edge AI-powered computer vision system designed to enhance safety and operational awareness in maritime settings. Kedar Kodgire, AI Engineer at M2M Tech, will deliver the presentation. The solution offers real-time detection of safety-critical incidents directly on the device, removing the need for continuous cloud video streaming and ensuring reliable functionality even in low-connectivity environments.
Built for shipboard use—with computer vision models that can also be adapted for similar environments like flight-deck operations—DeckGuard Vision uses advanced computer vision to identify PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and safety-zone violations, person-down and man-overboard situations, cargo and sling handling anomalies, and near-miss events. By integrating smoothly with existing shipboard systems, the platform delivers insights that allow crews to respond more quickly to safety concerns and reduce operational hazards.
As part of the Innovation Showcase, M2M Tech will demonstrate how scalable, deployment-ready AI solutions such as DeckGuard Vision are helping to advance a safer, smarter, and more sustainable blue economy. Attendees can also visit the team’s booth and cast a vote for the People’s Choice Award.
