This can be done by giving scope and opportunity for research and innovation, safeguarding of our natural environment and harnessing the fast paced technological development, so that the Maltese maritime product remains relevant and competitive.

The conference will be addressed by leading industry players and professionals from both the public and the private sector who through presentations and panel discussions. Moreover, the event will provide ample time for networking opportunities thereby contributing further towards the future direction of the maritime industry.
