Maritime Industry Gorinchem

Maritime Industry is an annual trade and public exhibition that has established itself as one of the most important platforms for inland navigation and the maritime sector in the Netherlands. Organized by Easyfairs Netherlands BV, the event takes place at Evenementenhal Gorinchem, a modern exhibition center located in the heart of the country. Its central location in the historically maritime city of Gorinchem—situated on the River Linge and near the Rhine-Meuse Delta—not only offers logistical advantages but also highlights the region’s deep-rooted connection to shipping and naval tradition. As one of the key hubs along Europe’s busiest waterways, Gorinchem provides an ideal setting for a fair dedicated to shipbuilding, navigation, and related innovations.

With a strong focus on technological advancement and sustainability, Maritime Industry showcases the latest developments in maritime engineering—from energy-efficient propulsion systems and automation solutions to eco-friendly technologies aimed at reducing emissions. This thematic orientation positions the exhibition as a key driver of progress in a sector increasingly shaped by environmental standards and operational efficiency.

A particular highlight of the event is its high-level supporting program, which actively promotes knowledge sharing and professional dialogue. The opening day is dedicated to expert exchange, offering a series of lectures and panel discussions that delve into current industry topics. The second day focuses on career development, featuring a comprehensive Career Event organized in collaboration with Scheepvaartkrant. This initiative connects skilled professionals with potential employers and makes a significant contribution to securing the industry's future workforce.

The exhibition also actively fosters international cooperation. Specially designed pavilions feature Belgian companies and startups presenting their products and services. This international and innovation-driven orientation makes Maritime Industry a unique platform where new business relationships are forged, market trends come to life, and the full scope of the maritime economy’s value chain is on display.

With its diverse offerings and clearly defined focus areas, the event targets companies involved in ship equipment, ship repair, marine engines, and maritime services, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their expertise to a wide professional audience. Whether it’s cutting-edge shipbuilding innovations, live technology demonstrations, or hands-on workshops, Maritime Industry offers tangible value for both trade professionals and interested members of the public.
