Connect your maritime innovation to the Port Cities of the Future
Ports and maritime value chains are entering a new phase. Geopolitical developments, emerging technologies, energy transition, digitalisation and new security challenges are changing how ports operate, compete and collaborate.
For startups and scale-ups, this creates major opportunities. But international growth requires more than visibility. It requires access to the right markets, customers, partners, investors and operational environments.
That is why InnovationQuarter, Rotterdam Partners, the City of Rotterdam and DronePort Rotterdam are jointly organising this trade mission to Hamburg during SMM 2026.
The mission connects companies from the Rotterdam region and Province of Zuid-Holland to Hamburg’s maritime ecosystem and one of the world’s leading maritime industry events. It is designed for companies working on maritime technology, smart logistics, autonomous and uncrewed systems, safety and security, energy transition, data, AI, sensors, connectivity and other enabling technologies for the Port Cities of the Future.
The goal is clear: helping companies turn promising solutions into international partnerships, market access and scalable maritime applications.
