Numerous members of the German Yachts Working Group are exhibiting at the world’s leading shipbuilding trade fair.
With more than 2,000 exhibitors and around 40,000 trade visitors from all over the world, SMM (Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology trade fair) continues to maintain its position as the world’s leading trade fair for the maritime industry.
The trade fair, which takes place every two years and currently from September 3 to 6 in the Hamburg exhibition halls, is the perfect marketplace for new developments, business contacts and deals and offers unique opportunities to exchange ideas with leading figures in the maritime sector. The extremely high visitor numbers in recent years underline the demographic diversity of the trade fair: Not only shipbuilders come, but also service operators and key players from all areas of the value chain. SMM offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and network with representatives from industry, government, the navy and the scientific community.
