European Maritime Day 2017 – Matchmaking Event

The event is organised in the framework of European Maritime Day Conference 2017, which will take place on the 18th and 19th of May 2017 in Poole, Dorset, England. 

The European Maritime Day (EMD) is an annual event which welcomes Europe's growing maritime community gathering EU maritime stakeholders and EU policymakers to discuss, debate and exchange best practices. 

Participants come from ports, shipping industries, clusters, environmental associations, NGOs, trade unions, scientific and research institutions, and local, regional, national and European authorities, amongst others.

The matchmaking event held on the morning of the 19th May 2017 targets innovative companies, universities, researchers, public authorities and other organisations interested in sharing new project ideas and finding collaboration partners to:

- Build partnerships for future funding calls,
