The forum will take place in Istanbul on Wednesday, 20 May 2025 (afternoon), bringing together leading Global and Turkish decision-makers from the maritime, shipbuilding, shipping, finance, trade, and regulatory bodies for an exclusive exchange of insights, strategies, and long-term visions.
The conference will be held in an open, bold, and intellectually stimulating environment that encourages, encouraging transparent and candid dialogue. Senior executives will actively engage in lively debates and meaningful exchanges, sharing their perspectives, ideas, and responsibilities in (green) shipping, the energy transition, energy security, decarbonisation, and innovative financing and investment models, both for today and for the future.
A key focus will be on how the Turkish maritime cluster can shape its bright maritime future, including the evolving perspectives and strategic roles of shipowners and shipbuilders.
True to the Mare Forum tradition, there will be no boring company presentations or long, predictable speeches. Instead, panellists and participants alike are part of dynamic, interactive discussions, making the audience an integral part of the debate.
Participants include shipping executives, shipowners, ship managers, shipbuilders, charterers, traders, logistics providers, capital providers, investors, energy executives, regulators, maritime lawyers, consultants, classification societies, members of the press, shipping service providers, and innovative entrepreneurs.
If you are active in the shipping business and interested in doing business in Türkiye, this is a forum you should not miss.
The programme, including the speakers and panellists, will be published soon. Stay tuned.
