Netherlands Maritime Technology international launch
Netherlands Maritime Technology was officially launched on the international stage during the SMM Exhibition 2014 last week.
On a national level, the association, company and foundation for the maritime technologies sector have been operating under this new joint name since May 2014. The reason for the name change was to create more transparency, increase synergies and better reflect the technological and innovative character of the 389 members.
Netherlands Maritime technology replaces the following brands: Holland Shipbuilding Association (Scheepsbouw Nederland), Holland Marine Equipment Association, VNSI, HME BV, HME Singapore and CMTI. It represents a close-knit network of shipyards, suppliers and service providers who work together in all locations and conditions.
In the field of maritime technology, these companies aim to lead the way in the search for new challenges and solutions. Netherlands Maritime Technology serves the interests of the network, provides professional project support and carries out independent research wherever necessary. There is a particular focus on issues linked to trade, innovation and human capital.
The Holland Pavilion at SMM was the largest ever, featuring 52 members and a surface area of over 1,000 square metres. A total of 136 Dutch companies take part in SMM, of which 93 are associated with the network of Netherlands Maritime Technology.
