where innovators have a stage conferences and presentations Introduced at SMM 2022, the concept of transition stages was an immediate hit among the participants. The theme-specific presen- tation areas let exhibitors present innovations, product highlights and projects during indi- vidual sessions. Following the presentations, the areas were used for “Wine o’clock” net- working events from 5 p.m. onwards. For 2024, an additional fourth stage will be installed in order to also hold the high-profile conferences inside the halls: → Maritime Future Summit → gmec, the global maritime environmental congress → Offshore Dialogue → MS&D, the international conference on maritime security and defence To tackle talent shortage within the maritime industry, the Maritime Career Market will offer exhibitors the chance to present themselves as employers. Start-ups@SMM We’re supporting the maritime industry leaders of tomorrow by helping them to raise awareness for their innovative offerings. On top of that, we offer them the opportunity to participate in the SMM Maritime Start-up Award, which recognises the most compelling new concept across all sectors.
