With a track record that has positioned it as a benchmark event for the maritime sector, WMW now reaches its sixth edition, continuing to grow as a key meeting point for fostering business opportunities, building partnerships, and addressing the challenges facing the maritime industry collectively.
The event, which will take place in the Luxua pavilion, will once again bring together professionals from the naval, fishing, port and marine renewable energy sectors. Its conference programme will combine plenary sessions addressing shared challenges and opportunities across all sectors with specialised thematic sessions, organised through Sinaval, Eurofishing, FuturePort and Marine Energy as leading platforms in each of these fields.
The exhibition area will feature companies showcasing their latest innovations in products, services and solutions for the maritime industry. Alongside them, institutions and associations that play a key role in the sector will also take part.
Furthermore, the upcoming edition will once again include some of the spaces and activities most highly valued by participants: the Hosted Buyers’ Programme, designed to facilitate business meetings between exhibiting companies and buyers, and the third edition of the WMW Awards, which will recognise the excellence and achievements of organisations driving the maritime sector forward. At the awards ceremony, four prizes will be presented, one for each sector represented, as well as a special recognition for outstanding business achievement.
Finally, and for the second time as part of WMW, the WORKinn Talent Hub will take place, an initiative aimed at highlighting career opportunities within the sector for those interested in joining it, thereby contributing to generational renewal in the industry.
WORLD MARITIME WEEK is organised by Bilbao Exhibition Centre and is supported by the SPRI Group-Basque Government and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia as institutional partners, and Basquenergy Cluster, the Basque Maritime Forum and Uniport Bilbao as sectoral partners.
