Decarbonisation in focus at Euromaritime 2026

Every two years, Euromaritime brings together the French maritime ecosystem alongside international stakeholders in Marseille. 3-5 February, Maritime CleanTech and our partners are ready to take part.

Industry leaders, innovators, policymakers and financiers gather in Marseille to exchange insights, build partnerships and accelerate the transition towards cleaner maritime industries. Together with Innovation Norway, Maritime CleanTech is bringing a strong Norwegian delegation to France. At the joint Euromaritime pavilion, partners including DNV, ZEM, Zinus, SEAM, Hexagon Purus, Corvus Energy, Plug, Tagtech and Lattice will showcase solutions spanning the entire maritime value chain.

"Euromaritime is an important arena for strengthening French–Norwegian collaboration on maritime decarbonization. By connecting proven Norwegian solutions with the French industrial ecosystem, we can address real challenges across the value chain. This collaboration has strong potential to unlock innovation, accelerate market adoption and create new bilateral business and R&D opportunities at European level," says Håvard Tvedte, interim CEO of Maritime CleanTech.

Throughout the week, the delegation will combine company visits, port and shipyard meetings with B2B activity at the Euromaritime fair. The programme reflects a shared ambition to move from pilots to scalable solutions, aligned with EU climate targets and evolving regulatory frameworks.
