Eirik Fosse

Co-Founder of Shippingcluster, a professional network for the global maritime shipping industry.

Prior, I have co-founded, together with two colleagues from Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) Circle Innovation an IT consultancy company and Genus Software a software applications framework, .

The maritime shipping industry serves more than 90% of the global trade,yet there exists few industry standards for electronic exchange of information.

“Shippingcluster connects the industry through a global industry network”, creating what we call a virtual industry cluster - a global industry collaboration network.

I have a Bachelor of Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts and a Master in Technology Management from NTNU in Norway / the University of Singapore.
