Our LMS Associate Professor and CY Tung ICMS Director, Ir Prof. TL Yip delivered a keynote presentation titled "Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Sustainable Maritime Energy Logistics and Supply Chains" at the ISLOGS 2026 Conference. The presentation highlighted maritime transport as the physical backbone of the global energy transition, adapting to alternative energy carriers such as LNG, hydrogen, and ammonia.

Ir Prof. Yip detailed how machine learning, digital twins, and multi-source data fusion enable a shift from reactive tracking to predictive and prescriptive intelligence — optimizing port scheduling, bunkering safety, and multi-vessel navigation while maintaining human-in-the-loop safety and meeting IMO decarbonization targets. To bridge technological capabilities with real-world application, the keynote concludes with strategic implementation pathways focused on data standardization, secure platforms, regulatory sandboxes, and cross-stakeholder capacity building.

The NEOM Research Seminar was held today in a hybrid format, welcoming participants both in person and online. Dr Ahmed IRAQI (Assistant Professor, ESCA School of Management, Morocco) presented his study, "A Cross-Continental Comparative Study on Digital Consumer Culture," in a session moderated by Prof. Miyuki Cheng (NEOM Executive Committee Member and Associate Professor of Practice, School of Fashion and Textiles at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University - PolyU).

The presentation examined the shift from technology-driven digital transformation to consumer-oriented digital culture. Based on a research framework covering 35 national ecosystems, the study analyzes how cultural factors influence technology adoption, with initial data outlining variations in digital trust, risk tolerance, and innovation engagement across countries such as Germany, the USA, and Morocco.

Thank you to Dr Iraqi for sharing his research, and thank you to all on-site and online attendees for participating. Stay tuned for our next research seminar!
