The name "Great Circle" is inspired by the concept of the shortest sailing path between two points, accounting for the curvature of the earth. This mirrors PIER71's programme ethos - "Navigating challenges to transform concepts into viable products in the fastest way possible". The last few months, start-ups have worked hard to put forth their best ideas and solutions to address challenges or innovation opportunities. All this has come into fruition at the Great Circle today, where the top 8 startups vied for top honours of the PIER71 Smart Port Challenge.
