World Maritime Week (WMW) 2021 will take place at Bilbao Exhibition Centre in Spain, from 5-7 October. This year, the first edition of the Ocean Energy conference will take place.
WMW aims to enable top level sector representatives to develop ideas and initiatives around a series of five international congresses, plus networking events and activities.
Alongside the Ocean Energy conference, the shipbuilding industry will come together at SINAVAL, already in its 23rd year. Fisheries has its own event at EUROFISHING, and FUTUREPORT will focus on state-of-the-art technology and other innovations for ports.
This year also marks the first Oil & Gas Conference, to deal with all aspects of oil and gas, both up and downstream.
The working groups for the five conferences are presently engaged in designing a busy program of talks and activities dealing with cross-cutting relevant issues, including digital transformation and the transition to sustainability.
Meanwhile, the B2B direct networking programme is expected to provide one of the most valuable spaces at the event, fostering networking among sectors and direct contact with professionals.
