The Netherlands is known worldwide for its maritime expertise, advanced technology and innovative shipyards. Europort 2011 (8 till 11 November) is the place where this expertise, technology and innovation comes together. Innovative developments in ‘Advanced Technology’ in the various Dutch maritime sub-sectors will be presented in six Advanced Technology Conferences (ATC’s). These conferences are freely accessible and will be organised by HME in cooperation with Ahoy and with the support of the main sponsor Alewijnse Marine Systems and sub sponsors; PPG Industries, and Maritime by Holland.

Advanced Technology Conferences

Each Advanced Technology conference covers a two-hour program. The dynamic, short sessions are take place at the Europort Theatre, which is located between Hall 1 and 2. Per maritime sub-sector, prominent players in the market will be presenting their newest technologies. There is time for discussion on the end of each conference, giving the (inter)national audience the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge.
