About this event
SMM 2026 demonstrated once again how the maritime industry is shaping its future. 50,000 trade visitors and 2,300 exhibitors from 66 countries came together to discuss solutions for greater security, efficiency and sustainability. With participants from 134 nations, Hamburg once again became the global meeting place for the maritime community.
SMM Connect complements the physical trade fair with digital features, making preparation, organization, and follow-up more efficient.
The platform is available as desktop version and mobile app, offering all key information in one place – for a truly successful trade fair experience.
SMM and MS&D are important platforms for identifying new technologies at an early stage and bringing innovations into operational use more quickly.
SMM is a unique meeting place for the maritime industry. Our exhibitors held numerous discussions with international business partners that will lead to new collaborations. We will be back in 2028 with a strong Danish presence.
Decarbonisation remains important, but safety at sea and the protection of sea lanes are currently the number one priority. We need to get ships into the water quickly and significantly shorten procurement processes. Industry is ready: many of the products and technologies we need already exist and do not have to be developed from scratch.
