European Commission at the Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology trade fair

The program will include the presence of the Directorate-General of Research and Innovation, along with other Commission services like Directorate General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE), Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW), and European Climate Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). It will showcase the link between the European Union’s green shipping policies and innovation, through a selection of EU research and RLCF Alliance projects that will be presented, to illustrate the achievements of European companies.

Throughout the week, (3-6 September) the European Commission will hold in-person meetings between policy officers and interested parties to listen to the public and answer their questions on access to funding on policies such as Horizon Europe, Innovation Fund and Connecting Europe Facility. 

We welcome any organization interested to meet with us to let us know via email RTD-C3-ASSISTec [dot] europa [dot] eu (RTD-C3-ASSIST[at]ec[dot]europa[dot]eu) before July 31, together with the topics they wish to discuss.

Additionally, the European Commission will also hold a panel to showcase the success stories of Horizon Europe funded projects.

The Commission has also launched the Ship Financing Portal, which provides an inventory of public, private and blended financing products supporting investments in the shipping sector and the wider maritime industry. The Portal responds to the need to provide better and more complete information on access to funds, all in one place. It will be continuously updated and is intended as a go-to resource equipped with a search engine.

Join us at SMM Hamburg 2024 on 3-6 September. You will find us in Hall A3, Stand 203.
