The Nordic-Baltic Maritime Forum
The inaugural Nordic-Baltic Maritime Forum in Helsinki will be a landmark gathering of maritime leaders, innovators, and policymakers from across the Nordic-Baltic Eight: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden.
Spanning a week of engaging, informative, and dynamic activities, the Forum’s aim is to bring international industry stakeholders to Helsinki to learn firsthand about the region’s strong maritime capabilities, technological excellence, and proactive approach to innovation and sustainability.
The Forum will highlight innovation in marine energy (conventional and alternative fuels), shipbuilding and technology, and ports and terminals, with a key focus on Finland’s contributions to these sectors.

A Week of Maritime Collaboration

The programme is designed to foster international collaboration and knowledge exchange through an exciting mix of events, including:
• Site visits to shipyards, ports, and technology facilities across the Helsinki region.
• Roundtable discussions bringing together industry executives, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to explore practical pathways for sustainable maritime growth.
• Specialised seminars focusing on next-generation marine fuels, ship design and vessel optimisation, and the digital
transformation of ports and terminals.
• Technology demonstrations showcasing cutting-edge solutions in areas such as fuel systems, propulsion, vessel
optimisation, and smart port management.
A focal point of the week will be a high-level conference featuring contributions from senior stakeholders from across the Nordic Baltic maritime ecosystem. This flagship event will debate the most pressing issues facing the global maritime sector and highlight how the Nordic-Baltic Eight are shaping the maritime future through the energy transition, technology, shipbuilding, digitalisation and AI, and at ports and terminals.
