About this event

The Road Show Goes to Rotterdam.

Maritime innovation, met face to face.

Our Road Show journey continued in Rotterdam, a city recognised globally for maritime innovation, smart port development and sustainable logistics. Bringing together maritime professionals from Malta, the Netherlands and across Europe, the event focused on Smart Ports, digitalisation, offshore energy and the technologies shaping the future of global shipping.

The Road Show format allows Maritime World to experience leading maritime ecosystems first-hand, learn from local expertise, explore infrastructure and create meaningful business connections across international markets.

As a platform based in Malta, we believe the strongest partnerships are built face to face. The relationships developed throughout the Road Show series continue each year at the Maritime World Conference & Expo in Malta.

Why Rotterdam

Europe's largest seaport and one of the world's leading maritime innovation hubs. A global centre for Smart Port technologies, digitalisation, offshore wind, hydrogen and sustainable logistics.
