An ambitious program of conferences, expert panels, keynote speeches by global leaders, and technical workshops will establish the exhibition as a strategic forum for addressing major industry transformations: the development of new maritime corridors, the emergence of smart ports, the implementation of sustainable infrastructure, and the strengthening of regional cooperation.
By facilitating high-level B2G and B2B networking and showcasing cutting-edge maritime solutions, SIPORTS aims to reinforce Morocco’s position as a leading maritime hub in Africa and on the global stage.
