The reason we are called Superyacht Technology Network is that connecting buyer to sellers is our speciality. Networking is what we do best, with 60+ years of superyacht experience in the team, here we are at ISE 2022 hosting the Superyacht Technology Network Summit, with global technology thought leaders, technology speakers and superyacht industry experts.
This is the perfect adaption for the traditional ISE visitor to be able to place a foot into the superyacht industry. With both sides so much to learn from each other our networking skills bring this together.

Introduction to the Superyacht Technology Network Summit
The day started with an introduction to the Summit by Jack Robinson, Founder of Superyacht Technology Network. Jack opened the event with an introduction to the future of the superyacht industry and to the future of Superyacht Technology Network, stating that “we are in a transitional phase towards collaboration with owners’ experience at the centre of the industry”.
“We don’t believe in companies who disrupt the relationships in the industry between yards, integrators and manufacturers. We believe the only disruption should be disruptive technology”, he also added. Let’s look at what the big issues are in the industry and solve them together, and let’s lead by example to other industries. Jack also discussed our collaboration with Onboard Online and Superyacht Times, proving that we truly do practise what we preach.

Let’s talk about it.” Covering system-specific technology architecture towards holistic systems thinking, he discussed how the technology solution starts evolving straight away from the architect’s model and the design work of the subsystems. Loisto Pro offer a dynamic superioHUB platform with an active database, it offers endless opportunities to create stunning and useful control and monitoring applications for a variety of needs which can be monitored on the guest’s mobiles or using a controller.
Samsung Electronics Europe
Kris Hogg, European Business Manager – Luxury Living at Samsung Electronics Europe, tackled the topic of why AV is more than just screens and audio. New display technology and integration software are enabling new and unique experiences onboard. Kris looked at how recent developments in display technology have enabled the superyacht industry to redefine how onboard AV technology is used to create a complete guest journey from 1st stepping foot on board to the day they depart.
Watermark Yacht Management
Unfortunately, we did have one departure from the schedule, Feargus Bryan, Director of Watermark Yacht Management was due to join us to talk about the challenges and the opportunities for both sides of the industry and the role of the Superyacht Technology Council in driving this. Last-minute Feargus was called upon by the Royal Family, we can’t really argue with that….!
