SEAFUTURE - Naval & maritime innovations

LA SPEZIA, 11th/14th June 2009

1° FIERA INTERNAZIONALE SULLE INNOVAZIONI MARINE

The State-of the Art at Sea. SEAFUTURE is the first exhibition in the Mediterranean area, open both to enterprises and to Research Centres: it will host engineers, designers, manufacturers and distributors of sea-related equipment and technology. An unique opportunity to start up different kinds of collaborations and partnerships among exhibitors and stakeholders (Universities / enterprises / Research Centres), to reach nationwide and international excellence.

A high number of enterprises and research centres from Europe will be present at SEAFUTURE, displaying a broad overview of state-of-the art international technology and innovations, thanks also to ICE (the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade) which selected many of them as part of the agreement with the Ligurian Region for 2009.

A significant plus will be the presence of the main Italian and international research centres and institutes, most renown for their high-level technological and scientific know-how.

SEAFUTURE will be one of the top events in the nautical and maritime field, hosting also a number of thematic and technical seminars, forums, and meetings aimed to share up-to-date information and data under all institutional, technical and scientific aspects.
