About the Conference

As two nations connected by rich maritime histories, present day geo-strategic interests and a future of endless economic potential - Israel and Greece share significant opportunities for development and cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean maritime region.

This conference will bring together senior stakeholders from both allied nations - industry and business leaders, Blue Economy investors, entrepreneurs and innovators, policymakers and regulators, researchers and academics - to explore the vast potential of maritime cooperation and the ways to realize it for the benefit of both countries.

Together we will examine critical topics such as strategic maritime routes, supply chains, port infrastructure development, the energy sector, water desalination, security and control, technological innovation, aquaculture, environment and tourism.

The Eastern Mediterranean is at a crossroads of trade, business, development and innovation, making it essential for Israel and Greece to strengthen their maritime collaboration in order to fully realize its potential.

By sharing insights, best practices, strategies, we aim to enhance the economic resilience and sustainability of the maritime sectors, facilitate meaningful dialogues and encourage partnerships that will pave the way for a prosperous maritime future.
