MARE FORUM, organisers of the influential Mare Forum conferences, specialises in conference management, project development and policy marketing. MARE FORUM’s goal as a professional conference organisation is to bring together policy makers and chief executives of industry in a decisive dialogue and debate, where business strategy and policy-making for today and tomorrow’s issues can be realised with optimal results. MARE FORUM has frequently created groundbreaking and progressive concepts, developing them into conferences on an international level, and drawing worldwide attention. The international conferences of MARE FORUM have attracted the active participation of governmental officers, policy makers and businessmen, and have resulted in the creation of new policy, effective networks and fresh perspectives of the future. MARE FORUM collaborates with a large scope of international organisations, and in the process of expanding its research and promoting new projects, maintains an active network of forward-thinking, high-level individuals in a range of sectors.
