BALance serves as the coordinator of PASITHEA.

As consulting firm based on profound knowledge of maritime industries, BALance Technology Consulting offers expert studies for industry and governmental bodies on R&D, innovation and productivity improvement as well as coaching of technical groups (e.g. Technical Secretariats for European Directives MED, RCD) and administrative and technical project management. Beyond projects in this field, BALance TC is pre-dominantly offering consulting and commercial services with respect to innovation management and marine supply chain management. Furthermore, BALance TC has gained a significant position in “software on demand solutions”, especially in the field of systems for project management (product BAL.PM), distributed information management (product: BAL.IMS) and life cycle performance assessment (product: BAL.LCPA).

BALance Technology Consulting has a network of about 1.000 world-wide active contacts in different maritime businesses, i.e. companies, research institutions, industrial associations, consulting firms, standardisation bodies, experts and governmental bodies with direct or indirect relation to maritime issues. Although BALance TC has most direct contacts and experience in the maritime industry, available and reliable key contacts to other industrial sectors allow a good access also to these areas.
