We are proud to organize this first Eurafrican maritime forum in Marseille, on the occasion of EUROMARITIME 2024. We invite all players in the maritime economy on the African continent to come and present their development projects, and to take advantage of EUROMARITIME to discover the innovations of our exhibiting manufacturers. This forum is the cornerstone of an ambitious long-term project, with the possibility of institutionalizing it and setting up a rotating organization in Africa.
