From 1 to 5 June, NME hosted the Team Norway Pavilion at Posidonia in Athens. This year’s edition set a new record, with over 35,000 visitors, underlining the event’s position as a leading meeting place for the global maritime industry.
The week opened with a clear signal of political commitment. State Secretary Even Sagebakken, Ambassador Harriet Berg and Director General of the Norwegian Maritime Authority, Alf Tore Sørheim, visited the Team Norway Pavilion and took the time to speak with each exhibitor.
That same afternoon, the Quality Flag Forum was held in cooperation with the Norwegian Maritime Authority, the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Athens and Isalos.net. The forum brought together Norwegian and Greek maritime representatives for high-level dialogue on maritime security, geopolitical uncertainty and opportunities for stronger cooperation in global shipping.
Throughout the week, the Team Norway Pavilion served as an active meeting place for Norwegian suppliers and international industry stakeholders, generating strong interest and concrete opportunities for new connections.
On Wednesday, Norway Night brought together the Norwegian delegation and for one of the week’s social highlights at Marriott Hotel Athens, providing a dedicated setting to strengthen relationships within the Norwegian and Greek maritime industries.
On Thursday, NME co-hosted a joint networking reception with the Danish Pavilion, bringing Norwegian and Danish industry professionals together for networking across the Nordic maritime cluster.
The following companies exhibited in the Team Norway Pavilion:
BASSnet, Eltorque, Marine Technologies, Metizoft, NAVTOR, Optimarin, ShipMed, Shipshave, ULMATEC Pyro and Enogia.
We would like to thank all exhibitors for their participation, as well as all visitors and industry professionals who stopped by the pavilion throughout the week. The conversations and meetings that took place may lay the foundation for future international partnerships.
We look forward to returning to Posidonia in 2028!
